Variations on last recipe:
— I used freshmade limeade concentrate instead of straight agave nectar (ie, agave nectar cut 1:1 with fresh-squeezed lime juice)
— I drained the chicken pretty thoroughly before cooking
Things I learned:
— Limeade makes it more awesome, but slightly less sweet, so suit to taste
— 1 cup of marinade per pound of chicken is more than enough
— Don't drain it so thoroughly, as cooking the chicken in more of the marinade enhances the flavor
— Even drained more carefully, I still used two pans, so that was a wash (get it? huh?)
— This stuff would make a passable kung pao if I threw some peanuts and celery in and slathered on a little plum sauce
— This stuff still makes awesome quesadillas
I think we have a winner.
