Chicken drumsticks with coffee sauce

Coffee helps bring out the flavour of meat without overpowering its taste.

Good coffee beans should be whole - avoid broken or splintered ones.

Freeze beans that you don't use up within 2 weeks of opening. Wrap in layers of plastic to prevent the beans from absorbing the smell of other food.


Coffee - Part 1.

A twist to the ever-popular coffee pork ribs.

Ingredients (serves 4):
6 chicken drumsticks
1 tsp oyster sauce
Pinch of salt and pepper
2 tsp unsalted butter
2 tsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp barbeque sauce
3 tbsp brewed coffee
1 tsp brown sugar

Method:
1. Marinate the chicken with oyster sauce, salt and pepper.
2. Saute chicken over a heated grill pan with butter for 8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same pan, add the oil and saute garlic until fragrant, then add in the barbeque sauce, coffee and brown sugar. Let it cook for 2 minutes.
4. Finally, add in the chicken, allowing the sauce to caramelise and ensuring the chicken pieces are evenly covered with sauce. Serve immediately.

Tips:
Prepare the sauce in advance to speed up the cooking process.
