Equipment

Microwave Convection Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Chicken drumstick
  • ½ teaspoon Cayenne pepper 
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Paprika
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic and Pepper seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt  (to taste)
  • 1 Onion
  • 3 Tomatoes
  • Coriander leaves  (for garnish)

For the Marinade

  • 1 teaspoon Instant coffee powder
  • 2½ teaspoon Demerara sugar 
  • 1½ tablespoon Apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Lets start making the coffee reduction first. In a pan add coffee powder, demerara sugar and apple cider vinegar together on a low heat.
  • Mix well and let it boil for four to five minutes until it reaches sauce consistency. Switch off the flame and transfer to a dish.
  • Score each chicken drumstick two to three times all over the piece. In a plate add cayenne pepper, paprika powder, garlic and pepper seasoning with salt to taste. Sprinkle little water to the powder and mix like a paste. To it add 2 tablespoon Coffee Reduction sauce and apply on the Chicken Drumstick. Let it marinate for an hour before grilling. Grill Chicken Drumstick ( I used Microwave Convection Oven) on grill mode for 20 to 25 minutes and flip halfway through until it is well cooked and browned .Meanwhile cut tomatoes into half and saute with the coffee reduction sauce and keep it aside.
  • Before serving chicken ,garnish with sliced onion ,tomatoes and coriander leaves. Glaze chicken drumstick with the sauce and do serve it as a dip. I’m being a coffee lover ,I love to dip chicken every bite. This dish is a perfect Appetizer for all occasion.

Notes

Use the best instant coffee powder for the sauce. Can use Brown sugar or jaggery instead of Demerara sugar. Chicken has to rest at least for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
