For an even deeper mocha flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to the marinade. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can create a slurry with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water, then whisk it into the simmering sauce during the last few minutes of cooking. Serve the Mocha Chicken with a side of steamed rice or roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal. Garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added visual appeal.

01 Step
Recipe View In a medium, nonreactive bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sherry, coffee, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Add the chicken legs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the chicken. (4 hours+)
03 Step
Recipe View Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Set the chicken aside. Pour the reserved marinade into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. (10 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken legs generously with freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Carefully place the chicken legs in the hot skillet and brown on all sides, creating a beautiful sear. This will take approximately 8-10 minutes. (10 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Pour the simmering marinade over the chicken in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. (30 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken. (5 minutes)
