Proper baked beans #sidesmatter

For Jane's challenge I decided to do some proper baked beans because they are a wonderful side dish for any BBQ. When I say proper baked beans think "Pimp my beans" taken to a new level. I have been eating beans made basically this way my whole life. So if you are looking for some Heinz canned beans poured onto a plate this is not for you but if you are looking for baked beans worth eating keep reading.

The juice on the plate is from the chicken not the beans.

Start with a can of your favorite baked beans, it does not matter. For mine I used Bush's Best country style baked beans. I used one 28oz can which is plenty for just my wife and I.

FoodTribe this is my first time using the recipe template, so forgive me if it is not the most professional looking and I do not measure anything I go by taste, so these are rough measurements, adjust to your liking.
