Underground Chicken
This sounds crazy, but we had this at Thanksgiving and I thought this would be a great camping recipe. The result was some of the best-tasting chicken I have ever had.
inject a whole chicken with lemon garlic sauce in the breasts and legs and as many other places as you want. Pour the remainder of the sauce into a bowl and add parsley, black pepper, oregano, and garlic powder. Stir, and generously brush on this concoction all over the chicken. Put the chicken into a zip-lock baking bag and pour in the remainder of the mixed sauce of spices. Let it marinate overnight in the refrigerator or icebox. When you get it out the next day, wrap it in two layers of heavy duty aluminum foil.
Dig a hole about two feet by four feet. Then, build a fire at one end of it. After the coals get hot, shift the fire to the other end of the hole, leaving plenty of coals. Cover the coals with a half inch layer of dirt. Place the chicken on the dirt-covered coals and cover the chicken with another shallow layer of dirt. Move the fire back over the covered chicken. Sit back and enjoy the campfire, but make sure the fire stays burning. After about two hours and fifteen minutes, carefully dig out the chicken with a shovel. You’ll know it’s ready by the sound of sizzling juices and the aroma.
