This certainly was easy enough to do. Marinated chicken breasts in the margarita mix for about four hours...then tossed em on the grill. They cooked to perfection and were very moist. The flavor of limes and lemons was definitely there and not overpowering. Only complaint is it needs "something"...a kick behind it. Gonna play with this a little bit and see what I can come up with. Thanks for sharing gennyblake...
This looks easy enough to be good. Gonna give it a shot and toss it on the grill this week end.

The margarita mix didn't impart too much sweet/citrus flavor. It was about right. I think it really made a difference as a marinade though as the chicken was incredibly moist. And it's an easy recipe too!
