How to Make Grilled Chicken With Coffee Barbecue Sauce
- Render 4 slices of bacon in a 4-quart pot over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; and 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced, to the pot. Sauté until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 cup of coffee (brewed, cooled), 1 cup ketchup, ½ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and the reserved bacon grease. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 2-3 hours, or until sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over 1.5 lbs of chicken pieces. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Place chicken skin-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for 15 minutes.
- Flip chicken and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
- Brush chicken generously with the coffee barbecue sauce. Continue grilling for 5-10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste with sauce frequently during the last few minutes.
- Remove chicken from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite sides.
