Coca-Cola Chicken

This is a very easy main course to make on a campout. It requires very little supervision once you get it cooking.



Required Ingredients:
8 pieces thin-cut boneless chicken
12 oz can of Coca-Cola
12 oz ketchup
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 tablespoons chili powder

Directions:
Mix Coca-Cola, ketchup, and spices together in a bowl. Place chicken pieces in the bottom of the Dutch oven. (Lining the oven with heavy duty aluminum foil may make cleanup a lot easier.) Cover all of the chicken with the sauce and cover. Use about 9 briquettes under the oven, 18 on top. Baste the chicken with the sauce every 15 minutes, and rotate the oven and lid after you do that. Chicken should be done in about 60-70 minutes, although it's very hard to overcook the chicken this way unless you let it dry out.

This is delicious -- a little spicy and somewhat tangy. My kids won't usually eat food with big chunks of garlic or onion, but they had no problem when I used the powdered spices. If you want it a little less spicy, cut down on the chili powder.
