Chicken

Braised Green Beans

Cornbread

Method

Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the half chicken with salt and black pepper. Place it in a roasting pan and roast for about 45-50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Comeback Sauce

  1. 2

    Make the Comeback Sauce

    In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

Braised Green Beans

  1. 3

    Cook the Green Beans

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the fresh green beans and vegetable broth. Season with salt and black pepper. Cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the beans are tender.

Cornbread

  1. 4

    Bake the Cornbread

    In a mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
