Marinated Spicy Chicken For Vampires

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into one-inch cubes
  • ¾ cup coconut water (recommended: Zico Natural Premium Coconut Water)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • ¼ cup blood
  • 2 tbsp ground basil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  1. Combine all ingredients except chicken in a blender, and blend until smooth.
  2. Soak chicken pieces in marinade for 12 hours in refrigerator.
  3. Thread the chicken pieces onto metal skewers, and grill for six to 10 minutes per side, or until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F.
  4. Remove chicken from skewers, and serve.

Lauren Taylor: Mm, Jimmy, this looks delicious. My mouth is just watering, right now!

Jimmy Reed: I’m glad you like it, hon. I’m sure the kiddos will enjoy it, as well. I’m trying out various recipes that contain coconut water, and I thought this sounded quite good.

Lauren Taylor: So coconut water can be a blood supplement?

Jimmy Reed: Absolutely! Although, I don’t think it’s generally a good idea to replace some of the coconut water with blood. However… I think it works out quite nicely in recipes that also contain eggs, tomatoes, or red chili peppers.

Lauren Taylor: So, how long until the chicken is ready?

Jimmy Reed: Well, we have to wait twelve hours to let the chicken marinate - but I think it’ll be worth the wait.

Lauren Taylor: sighing I guess you’re right, Jimmy.

Jimmy Reed: Well, in the meantime, how about some sanguinaccio dolce?

Lauren Taylor: smiling I think that’ll help tide me over.
