borracho grilled chicken

Full of Mexican flavors, spiked with Texas beer, and tender and juicy.

Borracho Grilled Chicken

Whole Chicken, pieces and bone-in
1 cup Shiner Bock Beer (or other dark beer)
3 tsp. H-E-B Texas Originals Borracho Bean Seasoning (or McCormick's Chicken Fajita Seasoning)
6 oz. Pico de Gallo
Small handful Cilantro, chopped
1 Lime, zest and juice
2 cloves Garlic, peeled and smashed
1 tbsp. Honey
2 tbsp. Olive Oil
1 tsp. Salt, or to taste

Combine ingredients in a large Ziplock baggie. Seal, and toss to coat.
For maximum flavor, allow chicken to marinate overnight.

On an oiled rack, grill the chicken over medium-high heat, covered, for 13-15 minutes on each side. Transfer to a 350° preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until juices run clear.
Allow the meat to rest for 10 minutes so the juices can redistribute.

Serve the chicken on the bone, or coarsely shredded for tacos.

Oh, this sounds different but very yummy. So -- since I don't "do" beer- could I substitute it for something else? I'm assuming it wouldn't be as good in your book, but could I come close using something else!
Welcome back btw! :)
