Drunken Citrus Chicken

  1. Rinse chicken and pat dry.
  2. Season each piece liberally with salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder and onion powder.
  3. Set aside in a medium-sized bowl.
  4. In another bowl, combine tequila, citrus juices, green onions, jalapenos, cilantro and some citrus rinds.
  5. Add a pinch of salt and pour over the chicken.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-4 hours, or overnight if possible.
  7. Remove the citrus rinds, cilantro and jalapenos before cooking!
  8. Cover the bottom of a roasting pan with aluminum foil and place a roasting rack in the pan.
  9. Spray the rack and the bottom of the pan with cooking spray.
  10. Adjust the top rack of your oven to approximately 8 inches from the broiler; set broiler to low if possible.
  11. Keeping the door of the oven partially ajar, broil chicken thighs until they start to crisp, about 3 minutes.
  12. Flip and broil the other side until crispy, about another 3 minutes.
  13. Continue flipping chicken every 3-4 minutes, basting on occasion with leftover marinade, until an instant-read thermometer reads 165-170 degrees.
