What do you get when you grill two whole chickens that have been marinated in Goya Mojo Criollo and injected with some leftover Golden Margarita Ready-To-Drink Margaritas? . . . BUI (Barbecued Under the Influence) Chicken!

The chickens were spatchcocked and marinated for about 4 hours. I injected them with the leftover Margarita with some extra lime juice added to boost the flavor about a half hour prior to putting them on the grill.

The grill was set up for indirect cooking using lump charcoal and a couple of small pieces of apple wood. They cooked at about 350 degrees for one and a quarter hours. I was surprised by the nice flavor of the Goya Mojo Criollo, crisp skin and moist Margarita flavor of the meat.

I plated the chicken with some leftover Serbian potato salad and a side of tomato salad with feta cheese.

Re: BUI Chicken

How did marinade + injection work out? I must have overdone the injector the last time I did it. Do you put a specific amount?

It worked out pretty good. You could taste the Mojo Crillo flavor and the inside white meat had a suttle hint of the margarita/lime injection.

I injected about 3/4 of a cup of the margarita drink into the breasts mainly. Took a few stabs into the thighs and leg. Each chicken weighed about 4 lbs. Just before they went in to roast, I oiled them birds up with some Canola oil to help the skins crisp up.
