Dutch oven chicken 2

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 large Chicken per 4 persons, cut up
⅓ pounds Bacon, cut 1/2 inch pieces
1 medium Onion, diced
Salt
Pepper
1 cup Flour

Directions

Preheat oven, cook bacon with the lid on or off until brown. Add onions, cook until transparent. Add salt and pepper to flour. Coat chicken with flour mixture, turn chicken in bacon grease, put first layer bone side down. You can add other layers until oven is ¾ full. Put on lid, cover with coals, check often. When chicken begins to brown, stir with spatula putting bottom pieces on top as much as practical. When drum sticks begin to look shriveled, chicken is done. Cook slowly after turning.

NOTES : I like to season chicken with added herbs and spices. To begin I choose a wheat pancake mix. Wheat and honey is my favorite. To a 2 pound pancake mix, I add ½ cup salt, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons black pepper, 3 tablespoons chili powder, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 2 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon sage, 1 little clove garlic, some cayenne seasoning for zest and any other spices or herbs that suits your fancy.

Coat your chicken generously with this mixture and get rave ratings.
