I used five boneless, skinless halves. Meant to add 1/8t cayenne to the marinade, but forgot so added it to the marinade after boiling it. Oh, subbed marsala for the sherry. This is teriyaki chicken. It's teriyaki chicken. 'More suited to people who like sweet chicken. No, not crazy sweet; but "teriyaki" covers it. No, thanks.

Unfortunately, a "no-go" for us. :( Really thought it sounded good, but while the sauce was heating, it smelled unappealing. The color was very dark brown, almost black and smelled like something "burnt"...like tabacco. Not appealing at all. After the sauce was done, the flavor tamed down and wasn't too bad on the chicken...just not great. The sherry made a very strong alcohol flavor and the coffee did not seem to complement this recipe. The first thing my Hubby said to me when he took his first bite..."This has alcohol in it.(?)...Not what I was aiming for in taste...and I will keep my "coffee" in my morning mug,lol. Sorry Dave...two stars for the creativity and uniqueness in this recipe.

I really liked this and so did my hubby. :) I used 1lb. chicken breast since I didn't have chicken legs. I decreased the soy sauce to 1/2 c. and added a tsp. cocoa powder and a tsp. ginger paste and sprinkled garlic powder in before whisking all together. I ended up using a crockpot on Low for 6 hours for this recipe. I set the chicken in the bottom and poured the marinade mixture over top of it. We had leftover Asian vegetables that got added in the mix in the last few hours. The chicken easily shredded in the marinade with the veggies and it all tasted awesome scooped over steaming brown rice. YUM! Next time, I'll try it without the crockpot - prep time was a factor on this first try. :)

OMG! I made one or two changes. I added double the coffee and cooked the chicken in a dutch oven with sauce until it became thick. This will be made again.

Not one of my favorites, but definitely something different. I was hesitant about the coffee, but it worked really well and the final product looked super yummy. I tried it with boneless chicken the second time, and it wasn't as good as bone-in. I will make this every once in awhile for something different.

I'm only giving this 4 stars because husband said it was just "okay." That said, I thought it was good enough to make again, using some of the tweaks that other cooks have suggested. I used b/s chicken breasts, REAL sherry (ever tasted any "cooking" wine? Naaasty!), and instant espresso powder dissolved in water. After browning the chicken and adding the boiling marinade, it only took about 20 minutes to cook, and the sauce never really did thicken up. I think that swapping the amounts of soy and coffee, adding garlic, omitting the oil and addding unsweetened chocolate and/or cocoa powder are good tips. Definitely a recipe to have fun with!

Right recipe, wrong name! if not for the other reviews, I would have missed out on this delish dish. Followed the existing recipe plus added 2 cloves of crushed garlic & powdered ginger. Did not marinade. Browned chicken drumsticks on the stovetop while boiling the sauce then combined & put in oven at 375 for about 30 mins. The sauce does not thicken till it cools a bit, so don't overboil. Otherwise, a great recipe & we will make again! My husband who hates leftovers took them for lunch the next day & my daughter asked for the same exact dinner the very next night!
