When recipe inspiration hits, I have learned to roll with the punches. Some of the best inspiration I get is from looking at new food products at the local stores and on a recent grocery excursion, I had a lightbulb moment that resulted in a recipe that I know you all will love this spring and summer – an Oven Baked Chicken with Kona Coffee Barbecue Sauce!
This Kona Coffee Barbecue Sauce is amazing! It’s sweet, smoky with a bit of spice and a complex flavor thanks to the strong Kona coffee. I went with the ancho chile powder in lieu of the typical cayenne because I love the fruity notes of that spice. Also, the ground ginger lends a bit of a warming heat that plays nicely with the flavors. This is one of those barbecue sauces that I will keep on hand for entertaining. Just picture it on chicken, pork, beef, fish – heck, I’m even thinking of doing a Aloha style pizza with that delicious barbecue sauce slathered all over it. As it has been raining a bit, I didn’t want to play with my electric grill so I went with an oven baked chicken but you know I’ll have this sauce at the ready when I do break out the grill tongs.
When you want a different spin for dinner, make this Oven Baked Chicken with Kona Coffee Barbecue Sauce and watch your family and friends sing your praises!
