Coffee Chicken


A forum friend posted this recipe on Facebook and I knew, with dh's love of coffee, that I had to try it!

Coffee Chicken

2-3 pounds chicken
2 TBS instant coffee grains
1 TBS ginger
1-2 TBS olive oil
1 ¼ tsp allspice
½ tsp salt

Blend coffee, ginger, olive oil, allspice, and salt. Coat chicken with blend. Grill, broil, or cook in hot skillet until done inside.

Note: I didn't have allspice in the house, so I substituted, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and pepper in estimated amounts.

I also used 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cooked them in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes served with rice and Italian green beans.

Very highly recommended!

  1. Sounds like it smelled heavenly. I love your choice of sides too. Tomorrow we are having broiled salmon over raw spinach. Wish you were closer. ; )
