A lighter roast – not a full, heavy dark roasted bean.
Thai Coffee Spiced Chicken Sates
Spicy, sweet and exotic, the flavor of coffee is blended together perfectly by the nutty taste of peanut butter. You can also use a tender cut of beef, lamb or pork for this marinade. The marinade can be made a day before marinating your protein source. If you have the time, marinating the chicken or meat overnight in the refrigerator is the best way to increase flavor.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons ground coffee (good colombian brand)
Canola or peanut oil
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons peanut butter, smooth or chunky
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
2 tablespoons lime juice
3 cloves minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon crushed red chilies
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and reserve.
2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into ½ inch wide strips
24 wooden skewers
Thread the chicken on the wooden skewers and place in a dish with raised sides. Pour marinade over and allow to marinate at least 2 hours in the refrigerator covered, or overnight if possible.
Grill over coals or gas grill over medium heat for 5 minutes per side until cooked through.
(You can also oven bake if you must — at 375 degrees for 30-40 minutes, turning once.)
Serves 6-8
hope this helps. enjoy.
