This is a great time to enjoy a campfire and do some great grilling. Try Captain Dan's grilled chicken. An economical way to enjoy chicken is to buy whole chicken and cut it up into fryer pieces (for low fat remove the skin). Make a brine with a cup of water, 1/8 cup of non-iodized salt, heaping teaspoon of poultry seasoning, a pinch of garlic salt, and juice from 1/2 a lemon (you can experiment with varying the amounts and kind of spices). Mix brine well in a gallon size zip style plastic bag and place chicken in the bag. Put in your refrigerator for 4 hours (at least one hour - all the way to overnight). Grill over a medium fire (just above flames or 3 inches above coals). Use the other lemon half and squeeze on the chicken after turning. You can check that chicken is done by cutting through the thickest part and if juices are clear and flesh is firm it is done.
