In a large saucepan heat tequila, orange juice, pepper, and orange peel until it starts to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Add gravy and continue heating. Stir constantly until the mixture is evenly heated. Remove from heat. Preheat grill. Place chicken on grill over medium heat. Brush with sauce every 10 minutes, turning to brush both sides.
