Tequila-Lime Chicken

Last night I made up for my lack of inspiration on Saturday and cooked a really tasty meal. I marinated bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs in lime juice and tequila for several hours, then grilled them. So good--you could really taste the marinade. I also grilled new red potatoes from the farmers' market (olive oil, s&p, rosemary, garlic), which came out just perfect, crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. The veg is CSA zucchini and cippolini onion, garlic, fresh corn (farmers' market), and more of our crazy beans. I crisped up some chopped bacon in the pan before cooking the veggies, then removed it so it would stay crisp and threw it back in at the end. After pouring out a good deal of the bacon fat, there was still enough to add a little special flavor to those veggies. Yum.
