🪵 Classic Campfire BBQ Chicken

Here’s a simple and classic Campfire BBQ Chicken recipe you can make right over the fire:

Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks, or breasts)
  
• 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite kind—sweet, smoky, or spicy)
  
• 2 tbsp olive oil
  
• Salt & pepper to taste
  
• Optional: garlic powder, paprika, or onion powder for extra flavor
  

Instructions:

1. Prep the Fire: Build a good campfire and let it burn down until you have a bed of hot coals. Place a grill grate over the fire.
   
2. Season the Chicken: Rub chicken with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and any extra spices.
   
3. Grill the Chicken: Place chicken on the grate (not directly over high flames). Cook slowly, turning often, for 30–40 minutes, until the juices run clear and the internal temp reaches 165°F.
   
4. Add BBQ Sauce: During the last 10 minutes, brush the chicken generously with BBQ sauce. Flip and baste a couple of times so it gets sticky and caramelized without burning.
   
5. Serve & Enjoy: Pair with corn on the cob, campfire potatoes, or coleslaw for the ultimate camp meal! 🍗🔥

👉 Pro Tip: Wrap chicken in foil after saucing if you want it extra juicy and less smoky.
