Mahogany Glazed Chicken

This coffee glaze adds zest and character to your baked chicken dish. Serve light on a bed of rice or snug it up to a dollop of mashed white and sweet potatoes.

INGREDIENTS

½ cup brewed dark roast coffee
½ cup orange juice
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 cloves garlic, minced
3½ to 4 pound chicken, cut into 4 equal pieces

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 375° F. Lightly grease a large baking dish. Blend the coffee, orange juice, molasses, honey, mustard & garlic in a medium bowl. Dip each piece of chicken in the coffee mixture and place in the baking dish. Pour the remaining liquid over the chicken and bake 45 to 60 minutes, depending on thickness of the pieces. Turn at least once during cooking. When the chicken juices run clear, remove chicken & place on serving dish. Bring remaining liquid to a boil, reduce to a syrupy glaze. Pour over the chicken while hot and serve immediately.
