Smoked Jalapeno Chicken

Ingredients

• 6 chicken breast halves, skinned

• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 4 limes)

• 1/4 cup honey

• 2 tbs. fresh cilantro leaves

• 3 jalapeno peppers, sliced - leave seeds in

• 2 tbs. soy sauce

• 3 cloves garlic, chopped

• 1/4 tsp. salt

• 1/4 tsp. pepper

Place chicken in a 13x9x2 inch dish (or plastic freezer bag), and set aside. Combine lime juice and remaining ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth.

Pour mixture over chicken, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight

Smoke-cook 2 1/2 hours at 225° F using 2 ounces of apple or hickory wood.

Poultry Note: A lot of folks prefer the skin crisp but also want the smoke flavor. This is how you can have both: you can undercook any chicken recipe to finish on the grill.

Always keep in mind food safety. Poultry should NEVER be permitted to stay between 40°-140° for longer than a few hours. So either finish cooking or refrigerate at once.
