Tequila-Glazed Chicken with Jalapeño

This vibrant tequila-glazed chicken with jalapeño is a standout dairy-free dish that brings a sophisticated edge to your summer barbecue. The chicken is dry-brined overnight with toasted coriander seeds and crushed chillies, ensuring the meat stays succulent while the skin becomes aromatic and crisp. A glossy glaze made from tequila, citrus juice, and honey provides a beautiful balance of sweetness and acidity, complemented by the subtle heat of fresh red jalapeños and shallots.

Perfect for weekend entertaining or a flavourful family dinner, this recipe is naturally free from dairy and packed with bold, savoury notes. Serve the grilled pieces on a large platter with a final drizzle of the reserved spicy syrup. It pairs brilliantly with a fresh green salad or zesty lime-infused rice for a complete, crowd-pleasing meal that is as simple to prepare as it is impressive to serve.

How to make Tequila-Glazed Chicken with Jalapeño

Mix coriander, salt, and red pepper. Sprinkle mixture all over chicken. Arrange chicken, skin side up, on baking sheet; cover and chill at least 6 hours or overnight.

Combine orange juice, tequila, brown sugar, honey, 1 jalapeño, and shallot in small saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until mixture thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Add 1 more jalapeño if more heat is desired. Cool glaze. Transfer 45ml glaze to small bowl and set aside for serving.

Spray grill with nonstick spray. Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Arrange chicken, skin side up, on grill. Grill 15 minutes, turning occasionally. Brush chicken with glaze in saucepan. Turn chicken over; brush with glaze. Grill until juices run clear when pierced with fork or until instant-read thermometer inserted into chicken registers 77°C, turning and brushing occasionally with glaze, about 10 minutes longer. Transfer to platter. Spoon reserved glaze over.
