For a smokier flavor, try grilling the chicken instead of broiling. If you don't have gold tequila on hand, silver tequila can be substituted. Adjust the amount of honey to your liking, depending on how sweet you prefer the sauce. Serve with a side of Mexican rice and black beans for a complete meal.
