Espresso Rub
Enough for 3 lbs of chicken
¼ cup (50 mL) ground coffee beans (espresso or dark roast)
3 Tbsp (45 mL) packed brown sugar
2 Tbsp (30 mL) chili powder
2 Tbsp (30 mL) paprika
2 tsp (10 mL) salt
2 tsp (10 mL) ground cumin
1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground ginger
Choose your rub and mix the ingredients until well blended. Store the
rub in an airtight container until needed. Coat chicken generously.
Throw out any leftover rub that's come in contact with raw chicken.
Preheat grill. Grill over medium heat, with the lid down, until a meat
thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 170F for chicken pieces
or 180F for a whole chicken.
Boneless skinless pieces - about 5-7 minutes per side
Bone in pieces - about 10-15 minutes per side
Whole chicken - about 90 minutes
Remove chicken from the grill and let stand for 10-15 minutes before
serving to allow the juices to settle.
