Chicken in box

[Vency]

I this part of Europe (East) there is famous cocking technique.
Often this recipe is made at camps after all day driving.

You just need fitting metal box and open fire

Also instead of these metal spit , you can easy use glass bottle with beer or wine

Those look Delicious! Interesting way of getting the job done as well. Do you find the vegetables get over-cooked?

 

[Vency]

Pictures are not mine, i prefer to use pork chops instead of vegetables

I've seen people do dutch oven meals in a similar manor where they dig a hole wider and deeper than the pot then push coals from the campfire into the bottom of the hole, put the oven in, then scoop more coals on top and berry it under a foot or so of dirt. They do this first thing in the morning and by dinner time the food is cooked.

We have something similar called Chick Can.
But it is usually used on the grill or in the oven.
I use mine often, the steam from whatever liquid you put in the can really keeps the chicken moist.

Any suggestions on timing when using an open fire such as you showed?

How long does the chicken box need to cook for?

I've seen (but never tried) the same technique using a turkey and a metal trash can. You simply use a remote thermometer and drink beer till the bird comes up to temperature.

These smaller cans seem perfect for chickens. The cans aren't common around here. I wonder what we could use in North America.

Cooking time is around 40-50 min.

I know you can buy olive oil in metal cans like that, so if you had an empty can you would know it was food grade and be able to use it for a real small chicken or some cornish hens or something.

In fact, judging by the pictures I would say at least one of those cans use to have sun flower oil in it.

 

[Vency]

Yes, cans are from sun flower oil and olives.
Here also can by cheese in such cans.

How about using one of those popcorn tins that usually have the different flavored popcorn?
