How to Make Drunken Chicken Tex Mex Style Beer Can
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, lime juice (1/2 cup), chili powder (2 tablespoons), cumin (1 tablespoon), garlic powder (1 teaspoon), paprika (1 teaspoon), salt (1 teaspoon), pepper (1/2 teaspoon), and tequila (2 tablespoons). Mix well, ensuring the chicken is fully coated.
- Place the chicken in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
- Open a 12-ounce can of beer and drain approximately 1/4 of the liquid.
- Carefully place the beer can upright in the center of a grill-safe roasting pan or disposable aluminum pan.
- Place the marinated chicken on top of the beer can, ensuring it's secure and upright.
- Place the roasting pan on the preheated grill.
- Grill for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C), turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Remove from grill and let rest for 10 minutes before shredding or serving. Garnish with your favorite Tex-Mex toppings, such as cilantro, shredded cheese, or avocado.
