Coffee Rub For Chicken Recipe Recipe Cards

COFFEE-RUBBED ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, stir together coffee, butter, sugar, garlic, pepper and salt.
• Arrange chicken, breast side up, in a shallow roasting pan and spread rub all over to coat completely. While not necessary, you may cover and refrigerate up to two days at this point.
• Roast chicken, basting every 20 minutes or so with pan juices, until skin is deep golden brown and crisp and meat is cooked through, about 1 hour.
• Set aside to rest 10 minutes then transfer to a cutting board, carve and serve hot.

COFFEE-CRUSTED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400° F.
• Combine the espresso powder, brown sugar, sweet paprika, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture over the pork until the surface is entirely coated. Drizzle pork with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Set aside at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Add the remaining olive oil and butter to a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. When skillet is hot, add the pork and cook, turning as needed, until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes.
• Transfer skillet to oven and roast pork until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin reads 145° F, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
• To serve, slice tenderloin into rounds and drizzle with pan juices.

ROASTED CHICKEN RUB

Steps:

• Stir celery flakes, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, sage, black pepper, rosemary, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Transfer spice mixture to a spice grinder or food processor and blend until smooth.

COFFEE RUB CHICKEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Combine spices and mix with oil to make a paste. Place the thighs in a mixing bowl and add the spice paste mixture. Toss to coat evenly.
• Place the chicken thighs (evenly spaced) on a foil or parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• Roast the chicken thighs for 45 minutes, giving the fat enough time to render out as much as possible and get the skin crisp. The meat will also be fork tender after this amount of time. Remove the chicken from the oven to cool, but leave the oven on.
• When the chicken has cooled until it's easy enough to handle, turn over the thighs (skin side down) onto a small pan and using a paring knife, cut along each side of the bone. Carefully pull the thighbone out, leaving the meat intact.
• Turn the thighs back over (skin side up) and top with the cheese. Place back in the oven just long enough to melt the cheese, about 10 minutes.
• While the cheese is melting, toast the English muffin.
• Shingle the slices of avocado onto the bottoms of the English muffins, top with a boneless coffee-roasted chicken thigh, and then finish with a slice of tomato. Close with top half of the English muffin.
