Little Chicken Firebox - recipe for cooking a chicken in the field using a Firebox stove.



This recipe this is great for the last days of a camping trip when the chicken is one of the last items that is defrosted in the esky.

Ingredients :
Small frozen chicken (we use the one from Aldi in this video)
Firebox 5 inch
Pot where the chicken fits snug
Chicken spices mix
Cooking oil

Optional :
Tin can Chick peas
Handfull sugar snaps

Prepare the firebox for cooking. Light up some wood and wait until a good layer of red little coals form in the bottom.
Put oil in a pot (about 5 spoons)
Put some of your favourite chicken spices in the pot
Place the chicken in the pot and cover with an additional layer of chicken spices.
Cover with the lid and place the pot on the firebox
We want the firebox to be hot but to keep the flames to minimum. This is best done by adding small pieces of wood one at a time.
Keep cooking for 1-1.5 hours while turning the chicken every 15 minutes
Once the chicken is done let cool and serve

Optional:
Once the chicken is done remove the chicken from the pot and leave all the liquids in the pot. Chuck the content of a tin canned chickpeas (without the chickpeas brine) in the pot, add a handful of sugar snaps and cook for about 10 minutes.
Serve on the chicken and use the liquids from the pot as a sauce.
Finish with a good pot of coffee

Can't say I've ever carried a frozen chicken and cans of chickpeas when I'm bushwalking.

Frozen chickens are great for sprained ankles though.
