Method
Combine margarita mix, lime juice and garlic in a heavy re-sealable plastic food-storage bag. Add chicken pieces; seal bag and turn to coat with marinade. Refrigerate, turning bag occasionally, at least 1 hour but no longer than 24 hours. Remove chicken, reserving marinade. Heat coals or gas grill. Place chicken, skin sides up, on the grill. Brush with marinade; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Cover and grill over medium heat for 15 minutes; turn chicken. Brush with remaining marinade; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and grill 20 to 40 minutes longer, turning occasionally, until juice of chicken is no longer pink when thickest pieces are cut.
Notes: I usually make this recipe with boneless, skinless chicken breasts and reduce grilling time to 8 to 10 minutes.
