Campfire Sticky Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, or a large zip-top bag, combine the chicken, onion, mushrooms, yellow pepper, red pepper, garlic, and potatoes. Pour in the olive oil and lemon juice, then mix well.
• Evenly divide the mixture between 4 large sheets of aluminum foil. Top each with another sheet of foil, and roll up the edges tightly. Wrap each packet again, securely in another sheet of foil to double wrap.
• Cook in the hot coals of a campfire until the chicken is opaque and the potatoes are tender, around 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Put the chicken breasts in a large plastic freezer bag. Add the soy sauce, peanut oil, lime juice, ginger, and garlic. Seal the bag and shake it well to combine the ingredients. Marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight. You can put the bag in the freezer where it will keep for up to 6 months. When you are ready to cook the chicken, remove it from the freezer and thaw it overnight in the refrigerator.
• Heat a well-seasoned cast iron pan, a non stick skillet, or a grill pan over medium high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess; season with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken breast until done, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Slice and serve on top of the Hearty Shiitake Mushroom and Miso Soup.

Steps:

• Before you leave home, cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes.
• Wrap the cubes in a packet of heavy-duty foil, then freeze.
• Just before leaving for your trip, loosely wrap the frozen packet in a second layer of foil.
• The chicken will keep for 24-36 hours.
• When you're ready to cook, combine all ingredients (breaking up the frozen chicken cubes as needed) in a frying pan set over a medium campfire.
• Cook, stirring often, until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
• Can be served with quinoa, couscous or brown rice.

Steps:

• Remove backbone from chicken using kitchen shears. Place chicken, breast side up, on a cutting board, with legs extended on both sides. Press firmly on breastbone to break it and flatten chicken. Rub all over with 2 tablespoons oil, and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a cast-iron skillet set over a campfire or on a medium grill. Place chicken in skillet, breast side down, and place a clean brick or heavy skillet directly on top, pressing to flatten chicken. Grill until skin is golden and crisp, about 12 minutes.
• Remove brick, and flip chicken. Cover with foil, and grill for 20 minutes more. Flip chicken, and grill until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thigh reaches 165 degrees, about 5 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, grill lemon wedges directly on grates, flipping, until caramelized, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a platter. Drizzle with remaining tablespoon oil, and sprinkle with red-pepper flakes. Serve with lemons.
