Pig-Sty’s Tequila Lemon Chicken Recipe

Celebrating July 4th means making Pig-Sty’s tequila lemon chicken

Here’s a recipe for home cooks from pitmaster and Chef Bryan Tyrell of Pig-Sty BBQ in Boynton Beach. This dish is not on the restaurant’s menu, so you may feel exclusive because, well, you are. The Tequila Lemon Chicken (pictured) is easy to make, and the results will be appreciated by your holiday crowd. It calls for overnight marinating, so start now.

Meanwhile, if you don’t feel like cooking and you head over to Pig-Sty, you’ll find a bevy of July 4th specials, including a friends and family feast for $11 per person that has ribs, chicken and pulled pork with two sides; or a full rack of ribs for $21. Their take-out specials include The Bottle Rocket, which has one rack of ribs, one whole chicken, 24 wings and two large sides for $100. Have a great July 4th!
