Recipe

Grilled Javanese Coffee Rubbed Chicken

  • 1 teaspoon Green Cardamom Pods
  • 2 tablespoons freshly ground Coffee
  • 2 Stalks Lemongrass, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh Mint
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • thumb sized lump of Ginger
  • Freshly ground Black Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • Olive Oil
  • 3 pound Organic, Free Range Chicken

Using a blender, magimix or food processor mince up the ingredients–except chicken– and add Olive oil to lubricate. This should produce a fine paste.
To spatchcock the chicken, but it down the center of the back with a large knife or poultry shears. Don’t cut the chicken in two, but only to the inside of the breast. Spread the chicken out flat and press to flatten. Massage the rub on both the inside of the chicken, under the skin, and over the skin.
The chicken can stand for up to one hour. If the chicken is cold allow to come to room temperature. Preheat your grill. Grill both sides of the chicken over medium heat until done. Do not let char–if that is a possibility it is better to smoke roast the chicken over indirect heat.
