Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 15 mins
Total time: 20 mins
Ingredients
  • Skinless, boneless chicken
  • Juice from a can or jar of pickled jalapeños (to cover chicken)
  • Dark chili powder
Instructions
  1. Cut chicken up into strips or pieces if desired. Whole chicken pieces can be used, but will take longer to marinate for full flavor.
  2. Place chicken pieces in a dish, cover with pickled jalapeño juice, and cover tightly.
  3. Place in refrigerator and allow to marinate for 1-3 days. Rearrange chicken several times a day as needed to ensure all surfaces of the chicken come in contact with the jalapeño juice. Flavor increases the longer you marinate.
  4. Remove chicken from the jalapeño juice and sprinkle both sides with dark chili powder.
  5. Grill, stir-fry, bake ... cook however you wish until chicken is fully cooked.
  6. Can be served as main dish or incorporated into other dishes.
