If you like fried chicken then here’s a great recipe for you.
It’s real easy to make and of course even easier to eat .
I like to serve it with my easy mashed potatoes and whatever fresh vegetables I have on hand or are available.

Seasoned Chicken and Grilled Vegetables

This is one of those meals that is quick to prepare, and can be made
anywhere. It’s great cooked on the grill or even over an open fire if you are out camping.. What vegetables you use isn’t important, it works well with all types. Just remember to use ones of similar texture. In other words don’t use carrots with yellow squash
or mushrooms, but with a harder vegetable like sweet potatoes
and or onions.

Seasoned Chicken
Chicken pieces or whole chicken
Vegetable Oil or Olive Oil
Seasoning Salt

Rinse chicken and pat dry.
Coat thoroughly with oil.
Sprinkle generously with the seasoning salt.
Either smoke cook indirectly for 3 to 5 hours,
or cook over direct heat till done.
Turn chicken or reposition it if using a whole chicken
half way through cooking.

Grilled Vegetables
Eggplant
Yellow Squash
Zucchini
Mushrooms
Coarsely ground Black Pepper
Garlic Salt
Olive Oil to coat

Slice Eggplant length wise into ½ to ¾ inch slices.
Cut Yellow Squash and Zucchini in half, then thin slice each half
length wise in half again.
Leave Mushrooms whole.
Brush all with Olive Oil, and sprinkle with the Black Pepper
and Garlic Salt.
Smoke cook indirectly for 1 hour or till done,
or cook over direct heat for about 8 minutes per side or till tender.

For convenience you can cook the chicken at home if you want to bring this camping.
You can eat it cold or heat it up over the fire.
You can also wrap the vegetables in aluminum foil after to slice them and coat them with the oil and seasoning. Just place the foil pouch on the coals and cook about 8 minutes per side, or till a knife can easily pierce the vegetables.
