Independence Day is a federal holiday in which we commemorate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. The 4th of July is also a holiday to bring us all together for a joyous celebration. I have fond childhood memories of fireworks shopping with my friends in Washington, DC and then gathering for a fun BBQ, where our parents would light all of the fireworks. As I grew into adulthood, this day became a tradition for a few of us to get together and watch the city’s fireworks, while enjoying some good old BBQ. Fireworks, BBQ, family, and friends, and of course booze. If you’re planning the same type of BBQ, you might want to take it to the next level with a fun booze-infused treat. I played around with a few ideas. Most of my inner circle loves tequila and BBQ, so I thought it would be a great idea to hook them up with a Hornitos® Tequila Plata infused BBQ striped chicken dish. It’s pretty simple to make and only took 15 minutes to cook.
