Description

You don't need to be a beer lover to love this grilled chicken that has been marinated in Mexican beer. The beer tenderizes the meat, also adding great flavor along with garlic and seasonings.

Ingredients

• 11 oz. bottle dark Mexican beer, or any preferred beer
• 3 T. sesame seed oil
• 5 large garlic cloves, minced (about 1 1/2 T.)
• 1 1/2 t. dried oregano
• 1 1/2 t. kosher salt
• 1 t. freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 t. cayenne pepper
• 3-4 lb. chicken, 9-10 boneless skinless chicken thighs

Steps

1. Wash chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
2. In a bowl, stir together the marinade ingredients.
3. Place chicken in a gallon size zip-lock bag or airtight container. Pour marinade over the chicken. Seal; turn the bag or container to coat the pieces evenly. Place in the refrigerator for 12-36 hours, or a minimum of 24 hours for the best flavor.
