Chicken and beans!

Thatgrimguy

Cooked lunch for my sales team at our Hyundai dealership to thank them for such a great job last month.  Spatched 7 chickens then cut them all in half. Makes it easier for me to move them around the grill and to get them all to fit. Covered in Simply Marvelous Pecan rub. Raised direct that ended up cruising around 300-350 instead of 400.

These beans are as delicious as they are easy. Best baked beans I have ever eaten.

Start with a large can of bush's and a medium can. I also added some kidney beans this time.

Ketchup, Mustard, bbq sauce, brown sugar

Some jack daniels and Zing Zang bloody mary mix

Half an onion and half a green onion diced

Diced cooked bacon (or extra pulled pork or brisket or any meat you want or no meat at all)

cover in raw bacon (which i forgot to do at first)

350 in the small in my old school cast iron dutch oven

It all looks excellent from where I'm sitting. Great job. I love the DO as well!

All was wonderful. The sales team is going crazy over how juicy the chicken came out.  I don't think they have ever had properly egged chicken!

I bet that they are enjoying that. Especially if they have never eaten of a egg before. Glad it was I hit!

I think that should be the stock photo from now on when people ask "should I get the large or the XL"?

If y'all eat like that on a regular basis I need to come to work for y'all!!

looks great hope that motivated for next month:)

@SGH - I made them pulled pork last weekend!

@smokeypitt - I LOVE my XL, I find myself using all of the real estate pretty often. 14 chicken halves is pretty sporty for a single level cook.

@Tulocay - Thank you it's great being able to cook chicken perfectly every single time!

@cook861 - It's always fun to keep the guys happy with positive motivation!

@Thatgrimguy‌
Sounds like y'all eat like us! I like it!!

Looks great!  How much of those ingredients do you add to the beans?

Cooking with Zing Zang is a brilliant idea.

That is some great looking chicken! I am sure the sales guys were happy with that.

@buzd504  I use it in chili, beans, and sometimes in taco meat too. I love that stuff. Mostly with vodka though!

@tshuggz  a dash of this and a splash of that. I have never measured. Next time I will. 

I put roughly equal amounts of the ketchup/bbq/mustard/zing zang. Probably just over a 1/4 cup of each.  About 2 shots of Jack Daniels and probably a cup of the brown sugar.
