Note: the chicken pictured above was actually roasted at 375-degrees for 50 minutes. It looks (and tastes) even better when barbecued. |
Meredith and Jacob also made me a great cake, and that recipe (along with the story) will show up in a couple of weeks.

ReplyDeleteWow, Dan - this rub sounds awesome - that would definitely make some rockin' chicken. Love the idea of the coffee in this too. Thanks so much for sharing it with "Make it with ... Mondays" challenge paprika.
ReplyDeleteSue :-)
The flavours in the rub sound really interesting - I've never had coffee with chicken before, but it sounds amazing!
ReplyDelete@Sue - I wish I held this back for the coffee challenge. I use paprika frequently, but coffee... not so much!
