Ingredients

  • 3 lbs chicken breast cut in half
  • 1/2 cup light roast coffee I used Kalamazoo Coffee Co Bam-Bean-Oh
  • 1/2 cup Lager
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 limes juiced
  • 2 chipotles chopped
  • 2 tablespoons adobo sauce
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons corn starch loosened with a splash of water

Instructions

  • Combine coffee, lager, sugar, lime juice, chipotles, adobo sauce, salt, and pepper. Reserve half of the marinade for future use, and use the remainder to marinade the chicken for 4 hours.
  • Heat grill on high. Pat chicken dry and grill for 6-7 minutes a side until 165 deg F.
  • As chicken grills, set small saucepot on medium-low heat (great time to use the side burner on your grill). Whisk in the loosened cornstarch and cook until just thickened.
  • Once chicken is cooked, let rest for 3 minutes until slicing, topped with the sauce. Served paired with grilled peppers and onions as shown.
