Chicken cooked in foil over a campfire
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. For everyone planning a trip to nature soon and organizing a small picnic, I suggest trying this recipe for cooking chicken over an open fire wrapped in foil. Actually, this dish is really delicious, and to be honest, I like this chicken even more than regular shashlik because it turns out tastier. As for the meat itself, you can use any parts of the chicken you prefer for this simple foil-wrapped chicken recipe. By the way, you can also omit the potatoes and cook just the meat—it all depends on your preferences. However, I should say right away that it turns out more filling with potatoes. The ready dish can now be served.

An hour is quite enough for both the meat and potatoes to cook, so we carefully remove the packets from the coals and start our lunch. Enjoy your meal, everyone!
