Mexican Beer

Key Ingredient

PREP MARINADE

1. In a blender combine beer, onion, garlic, cilantro, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, avocado oil, chili, cumin, and oregano. Blend till smooth.

MARINATE

2. In a large bowl or zip lock, add chicken thighs and pour over marinade mixture. Toss and coat so all chicken pieces are covered in marinade. Let marinate for 3 hrs or more.

COOK THE CHICKEN

3. Preheat a grill pan or grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, add more salt ( I add about 1/2 tsp). Place chicken on the grill and cook turning occasionally till chicken is cooked through, 165 degrees F. Let chicken cool before dicing into smaller bite-size pieces.
