Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (12 oz) hot brewed coffee made extra strength or 1 cup hot espresso
- 6 cups cool water
- 1/2 cup kosher salt
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
- 2 tablespoons each: mustard seeds, coriander seeds, and whole
- peppercorns (any color but black packs the most punch)
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced (no need to remove the seeds)
- 8 large chicken legs or large thighs
- 4 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups prepared barbecue sauce
Directions
- Brew the coffee.
- Whisk together the coffee, salt, and brown sugar in a glass or stainless steel pan until entirely dissolved.
- Add the cool water, lemon slices, and whole spices.
- Allow to cool to room temperature.
- Add the chicken legs to the brine mixture, cover, and then put a heavy plate atop the legs to keep them swimming underneath the brine mixture.
- Refrigerate for two to three hours, turning them twice so that the brine saturates them evenly.
- To cook, drain the legs and discard the brine.
- Blot dry with paper towels or heavy linen dishcloth.
- Lightly brush each all around with canola oil.
- Preheat the grill until very hot; a few drops of water should immediately turn into pearls of water.
- Grill about four minutes each side , or cooked through, turning once
- Serve immediately with barbecue sauce on the side.
- Pair with perfect picnic portions of potato or rice salad, green salad or crudités, and iced coffee.
