We use our Dutch oven more than any other pot in our overland Kitchen. Over the next few weeks we will publish a series of recipes for the traveling chef.
Here is the first.
Serves: 6
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 1.5 to 2 hours
Estimated Cost: Under $10
The first time I made this chicken it was a winner and we immediately added it to the "cook it again list". This method of cooking the chicken creates a tender, juicy, fall-of-the-bone meal that is straight out of flavor crystal heaven. It is easy to make and takes very little culinary skill, after all I am just the driver.
It's not technically roast chicken since it's partially cooked in liquid, hence the "faux". It's semi-roasted, the legs and thighs are cooked in liquid while the white meat and most of the veggies, being above the liquid, are roasted to perfection. You get fall-off-the-bone dark meat and juicy roasted white meat, best of both worlds.
