A camping recipe from Bob. I tried this by accident one night during a Scout campout, and everyone loved it.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour, 45 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole chicken, cut up
  • 1 cup flour
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1 can condensed soup, celery or mushroom

Preparation:

Cut up chicken into breasts, legs, thighs, wings and the back. Use the gizzards also. Mix flour with the spices, salt and pepper. Heat oil in Dutch oven. Coat chicken with flour mixture and fry in oil until slightly browned. Drain the leftover oil from the Dutch oven. Arrange all the chicken in the Dutch oven with largest pieces near the bottom and side. Cover with the can of condensed soup of your choice. Cover with lid and simmer over low heat for about one hour. If using hot coals, ensure that there are enough to keep the Dutch oven hot. When done remove chicken from the Dutch oven and use some of the leftover juices for a gravy.

Servings: 4-6
