Coffee-Spiced BBQ Chicken Thighs

In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the finely ground coffee, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic granules, ground cumin, salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Rinse the chicken thigh fillets, then pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels. Lightly brush them with extra virgin olive oil so the spice rub adheres evenly to the meat.

Generously season the meat with the prepared coffee BBQ rub, rubbing it thoroughly onto all sides by hand. Let rest at room temperature for 20-30 minutes so the flavors penetrate the meat.
