Going camping next week and will do some dutch oven cooking .Last year was a big hit with smother pork chops and ducth oven pizza but I want to try BBQ chicken . Anyone tried it ?

A staple on our Boy Scout outing was pepsi chicken.







This guy does it with coke on his youtube video.

Google search dutch oven pepsi chicken for more info.

Doesn't sound like bbq chicken Mule, but just throw down a layer of onions, chicken, and top with your favorite bottled sauce and sit back and wait. Bet some smoked sausage on the bottom layer would be good eating too.

You will have to copy and paste the link. I can't seem to get it to make a hot link for some reason.

I need to drag my iron out this summer and build a pit like Sam did.

Thanks guys the wife approves !

spread a peach jam on top of the meat after a blanket of rice, seasonings and seasoned chicken and you abra ka dabra, you have River Chicken.............

Are you using foil liners in your DO ?

If so. Why other than ease of cleaning ?

Ease of cleaning.

you can also use the parchment liners. I am a huge fan of foil and parchment, as opposed to scrubbing crap out of a hot DO.

you can roast a whole chicken in the DO pretty easily. Make sure you have the coals set right, and that you rotate the oven to keep the heat even. In a 12 inch deep oven, I'd use maybe 15 briquettes on the bottom, a few more than that on top.
I don't add stuff, just a bit of butter, salt and pepper, maybe an onion in the body.

Sam where are you purchasing these?

Sizes ?? one size fits all ??

Helloooo,... earf to Sam.

What's that disc in the sky ?

A little googling did it Denny

Lodge Parchment Liners

Keith,The dog just filed a grievance. Said if I buy them I'm taking work away from him.

Last time I ate at KFC he said I was outsourcing.

Wally world sells the Coleman brand, as will any store that caters to campers. They are packed 8 to the box, for a modest price.
..and yes, Denny, One size fit most.

Sam what spurs you to defer to foil over parchment liners?

I like both Keith, and use both. Not at the same time though. lol
When cooking desserts, I like parchment When I do a breakfast casserole, or strata, tinfoil works well. Either work for chickens, pork, roasts. Stews, posole, chili, and so forth, get no liners at all.

That is what I was looking for thanks!

I have roasted a turkey in a D.O. while camping. Crisscrossed celery and carrots in the bottom, added onions, legs/thighs, breast, and some chicken broth and beer for a little moisture. Started as a ten pound whole bird, just cut it up tossed it in. Turned out great. Biscuits, gravy, green beans, mashed tators, and a dessert.

Thanksgiving in June at 8000 feet.

cal, you mention a good point there. Celery, carrots and onions in the bottom of the pan give flavor, and prevent burning of the meat.

Excuse my ingnerts please but what is "strata"?
