Coffee, Chocolate, Maple Tenders

Ingredients:

6 cups of fresh, quality coffee (think Brioso’s), chilled
1/2 cup real maple syrup (don’t even think about Aunt Jamima)
1/2 cup kosher salt (Use Morton’s cuz kosher salts vary)
2 1/2 pounds chicken tenders, give or take
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (think Ghirardelli)
1 tbsp stevia extract
1/2 tsp hot paprika
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice
1 handful of cashews, unsalted
1 pinch sea salt

Process:

Combine the coffee, syrup, and kosher salt into a brine. Add the tenders and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Remove the tenders from the brine and pat dry.

Mince the cashews in a grinder.

Add the cocoa, stevia, paprika, cinnamon, allspice, and sea salt to the cashews to make a rub.

Gently spray the tenders with a high temp canola oil — i.e., a PAM equivalent

Dip the tenders in the rub and place on a rack in a 9″-12″ pan or dish and bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.
