If you love tequila as much as we do, then you’ll love this recipe for tequila lime glazed chicken with homemade cilantro lime rice!
With this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken thighs are rubbed with a delicious spice blend, then smoked and glazed with a tasty mixture of tequila, pineapple juice and honey.
Then, we paired them with some cilantro lime rice made in a rice cooker to complete this mouthwatering dish totally worth celebrating!
Don’t have a smoker? No worries! You can still cook it up on the grill, in the oven or in the air fryer! Just grab some liquid smoke and check out this article by Taste of Home to get that “smoked for hours” flavor.
Don’t have a rice cooker? No biggie – just whip it up on the stove or in the Instant Pot.
Not a fan of cilantro? No problem! Just switch out for some parsley and it’s sure to be just as delicious! And if you need it, check out this F.N. Sharp guide for more tips on cooking with fresh herbs.

The knife arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Not only is the knife well balance and very sharp, it is also beautiful. I'll be getting all my knives at F.N. Sharp in the future!
Good quality and very sharp. My one disappointment though is they are Made in China. I thought they were Japanese made or USA. Not just "designed in USA from a Japanese steel. But, they are very sharp and good weight. Attractive knives. Good website with tons of knife related information. The price isn't bad for the good quality. I just prefer USA made.
