Sorry I didn't read this until now. Yes, my margarita chicken *is* a
marinade. First, you butterfly a chicken. Then you mix orange juice, lime
juice, tequila, and salt together and marinade the chicken in that mixture
for several hours. When you're ready to cook, you slather the chicken with
butter, sprinkle it with paprika, and grill.

The original recipe came from _The New West Coast Cuisine_, though I don't
think I follow the recipe very closely.
