DIRECTIONS

CHICKEN

1. In a large bowl, dissolve 1/4 cup of kosher salt in 2 quarts of cold water. Add the chicken and refrigerate for 2 hours.

2. Light a grill or preheat the oven to 500°. Drain the chicken, pat dry, and cover in seasoning mix. Then grill over a moderately low fire, turning a few times, until just cooked through; about 25 minutes for the white meat; about 35 minutes for the dark. Alternatively, in the upper third of the oven, roast the chicken, skin side up, on a rimmed baking sheet, until just cooked through; 25 minutes for the white meat; 35 to 40 minutes for the dark.

3. With about 10 minutes left in the cook time brush the Figgin Hot BBQ Sauce over the chicken several times until nicely glazed. Serve with the reserved sauce.

BEANS

1. DirectionsPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. Cook and stir bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat to render some fat, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir onion into the rendered fat and cook until the bacon is crisp and the onion is tender, 7 to 10 minutes.

3. Stir baked beans, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, prepared mustard, minced jalapeno pepper, chili powder, and mustard powder together in a large bowl; add bacon mixture and stir. Pour the mixture into a 13x9-inch baking dish.

4. Bake in the preheated oven until the liquid has thickened, 45 to 55 minutes.
