Chicken Drumsticks with Coffee Barbecue Sauce
Yields
4 servings

This is a killer barbecue sauce with a kick! I’ve added fresh-brewed espresso to my homemade barbecue sauce and was thrilled with the incredible depth of flavour that resulted. Try it with Cornish hens, turkey or quail as well. Yield is 4 servings.
