- In another bowl, combine tequila, citrus juices, green onions, jalapenos, cilantro and some citrus rinds.
- Add a pinch of salt and pour over the chicken.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-4 hours, or overnight if possible.
- Remove the citrus rinds, cilantro and jalapenos before cooking!
- Cover the bottom of a roasting pan with aluminum foil and place a roasting rack in the pan.
- Spray the rack and the bottom of the pan with cooking spray.
- Adjust the top rack of your oven to approximately 8 inches from the broiler; set broiler to low if possible.
- Keeping the door of the oven partially ajar, broil chicken thighs until they start to crisp, about 3 minutes.
- Flip and broil the other side until crispy, about another 3 minutes.
- Continue flipping chicken every 3-4 minutes, basting on occasion with leftover marinade, until an instant-read thermometer reads 165-170 degrees.
