If you’re planning a camping trip or just looking to enjoy outdoor cooking, there’s nothing quite like the taste of barbecue chicken cooked over a campfire. With a few simple ingredients and basic cooking skills, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal to impress your fellow campers. Here’s an easy recipe for campfire BBQ chicken that is sure to be a hit:
Ingredients:
– 4 bone-in chicken thighs
– 1 cup barbecue sauce
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Campfire: Have a well-built campfire with hot coals before cooking. You want a good bed of hot coals to provide an even cooking temperature for your chicken.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the thighs with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and rub it in to ensure even coating.
3. Cook the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken thighs directly on the campfire grill or use a cast-iron skillet. Cook the chicken on each side for 5-7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Cooking times may vary depending on the heat of the fire, so keep a close eye on the chicken to prevent burning.
4. Baste with Barbecue Sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, brush a generous amount of barbecue sauce over each piece. Let the sauce caramelize over the heat for a few minutes, flipping the chicken occasionally to ensure even coating.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the chicken from the grill or skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. This will help the juices redistribute and make the meat more tender. Serve the BBQ chicken with your favorite side dishes like cornbread, coleslaw, or grilled vegetables. Don’t forget to have a stack of napkins handy because this finger-licking goodness can get messy!
