Snappy Green Beans Food

THE BEST GREEN BEANS EVER

Steps:

• Snap the stem ends of the green beans, or cut them off in a big bunch with a knife if you'd prefer.
• Melt the bacon grease in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook for a minute. Then add the green beans and cook until the beans turn bright green, about a minute. Add the chicken broth, chopped red pepper, salt and pepper to taste. Turn the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid, leaving the lid cracked to allow steam to escape. Cook until the liquid evaporates and the beans are fairly soft, yet still a bit crisp, 20 to 30 minutes. You can add more chicken broth during the cooking process, but don't be afraid to let it all cook away so the onions and peppers can start to caramelize.

SLOW-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH GARLICKY GREEN BEANS AND SAGE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Toss the green beans, garlic cloves and sage leaves with ¼ cup of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, and arrange in an even layer on a sheet pan. Rub the chicken with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon salt. Arrange among the green beans and season with black pepper; scoot any green beans out from under the chicken. (It's okay if the green beans are clumped together.) Roast, tossing the green beans occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, and the green beans are dark green and wrinkled, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken to a platter. Stir the vinegar into the green beans and season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the green beans and garlic to the platter, scraping all the pan drippings and browned bits from the pan.
• Eat the chicken with the green beans, cloves of roasted garlic and a spoonful of the pan drippings. Optionally, if you'd like the chicken's skin to be more browned, return the chicken to the sheet pan and broil until golden.
