Grilled Chicken with Coffee Barbecue Sauce

• 3 slices of bacon diced
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 cup minced garlic
• 1 fresh jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
• 1 tsp. cumin
• 1 tablespoon canned chipotle in adobo sauce
• 2 cups brewed coffee
• 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 3/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1 cup diced canned tomato
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 three-pound chickens cut into 8 pieces

In a 4 quart pot over medium heat render the bacon.

Add the onion garlic and jalapeno pepper. Saute until onion is translucent.

Add remaining ingredients and simmer slowly over low heat for three hours. This is enough sauce for 2 chickens.

To barbecue chicken:

Pre-heat grill to medium.

Toss chickens in 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on grill over medium heat and cover grill. Griil for 15 minutes on each side. Tend closely and turn often if necessary. Be careful not to burn chicken. Chicken should be nearly cooked through.

Spoon sauce over chicken on both sides and continue grilling until chicken is cooked through, generally 5-10 more minutes (a little longer for dark meat).
