Did you know that if you marinate chicken wings in coffee before baking them, you’ll get a new and delicious flavor? If you don’t believe it, you must try this recipe. This type of seasoning, called rub, is used when making meat – like barbecues – and it’s perfect if you love coffee. Coffee gives the chicken wings an intense, mysterious, smoked and earthy flavor, so it’s great if you want to surprise your foodie friends or family with a different and original dish.
