Tequila Lime Chicken is my go-to summer grill meal.  Chicken is marinated in lemon and lime juices spiked with tequila.  Garlic, jalapeno, salt and pepper add the more flavor to the marinade and help to make this grilled chicken dish oh so good.

I have served Tequila Lime Chicken countless times and it is always a hit.  This recipe is adapted from Ina Garten.
