INSTRUCTIONS

Preparing the Chicken and Vegetables

• Trim chicken thighs and pat dry

• Cut potatoes, carrots, bell pepper, and onion into even pieces

• Combine chicken, vegetables, and garlic in a large bowl

• Pour olive oil over everything, sprinkle all seasoning and toss until well coated

Foil Packet Method

• Double layer heavy-duty foil sheets, one per 1–2 people

• Divide chicken and vegetable mixture evenly, one thigh per packet

• Fold and seal packets tightly leaving a small air pocket inside

Cooking on the Grill

• Preheat grill to approximately 425°F

• Cook packets 20–25 minutes, turning once halfway through

• Remove with tongs, open carefully allowing steam to escape

Cooking Over Campfire Coals

• Allow fire to burn down to a solid bed of glowing coals

• Nestle packets into coals at the edge of the fire using long tongs

• Cook 25–35 minutes, turning once halfway through

• Check chicken reaches 165°F internally before serving

Cooking on a Camp Stove Grate

• Heat burner to medium-high, place packets flat on grate

• Cook 20–25 minutes, turning once halfway through

• Reduce heat if packets begin to scorch on the bottom

• Check chicken reaches 165°F internally before serving

Dutch Oven Method

• Layer potatoes on the bottom, add carrots, bell pepper, onion, and garlic

• Nestle chicken thighs on top, pour ¼ cup water around the edges, drizzle olive oil over top

• Sprinkle all seasoning evenly, add salt and pepper

• Place over 6–8 coals on the bottom, spread 10–12 coals on the lid

• Cook 45–60 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F and potatoes are fork tender

Doubling for Larger Groups: Use a second 12-inch Dutch oven and repeat the full recipe, or prepare double the foil packets on the grill simultaneously.
