Preparation

Step 1

Barbecue Sauce
Sweat the onion in the olive oil with a good pinch of salt in a nonreactive 2-quart saucepan over medium-low heat until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the coriander, brown sugar, vinegar, and coffee and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the ketchup, tomato juice, and chipotle powder, and simmer for 2 hours. Strain, discard the solids, and let cool. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

Chicken
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Season the chicken on all sides with salt and freshly ground pepper. Brush the grill with olive oil, and arrange chicken on the grill, being mindful not to crowd the grill. Baste the chicken carefully with the barbecue sauce. Flip chicken after 5 to 6 minutes, and continue to baste. If chicken has not cooked through entire after 5 to 6 minutes, move it to a cooler part of the grill to finish.
Serve with extra barbecue sauce.
