Mesquite Spicy Tequila Chicken

This recipe uses the smoker box we bought a few months ago.  It is optional, the chicken will still taste great without it but then it will not be Mesquite.

Ingredients
3 chicken breasts
50 ml tequila
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp chipotle powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika powder
1/2 tsp hot cayenne powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder

1 cup Mesquite wood chips
1 stick cinnamon


In a gallon size Ziploc container mix all ingredients and marinate 2 hours to 24 hours.  30 minutes before grilling soak your mesquite chips and cinnamon stick in water.  Put the mesquite chips in your smoker box or make an aluminum foil package with slits on the top to vent.  Place mesquite package over direct heat on grill and cover until it begins to smoke. Place chicken on grill on medium high heat until internal temperature is 170 degrees.
