ok, so I've done beans plenty of times...usually soak overnight, throw in a dutchie with a bunch of stuff (onions, peppers, etc.), and put under a butt or something.
we're having a Labor day cookout at work Friday, and sounds like someone will be bringing in a few yardbirds, and asking me to bring in my rotis to cook them. I was thinking of doing a batch of beans. I don't need a recipe--I'm generally happy with my bean process (I very rarely us an actual recipe for anything).
My thought was this...cook them ahead of time (sometime between now and Thursday), and on Friday, put them under the birds while they cooked to heat back through, and catch some drippings/flavor. I've got a few questions:
--how long do beans actually take to cook? They usually go under ribs or butts, and cook anywhere from 4-7 hours.
--There should be no food safety issues from leaving them under the chicken, right? I assume no, since the birds will be cooked through at the end. I cook veggies under my birds all the time, so I assume there's no issue with the beans doing the same.
--Would I need to have the beans hot before the birds go on, or would it be fine to take them straight from the fridge, onto the grill, and underneath? Not a problem if they need to be hot first...I can get the grill going early, and set the beans in there to start.
--Am I better off just grabbing canned beans, and throwing it all together and under the birds when I start them?
Thanks!
