Mountain Dew Chicken

Men are born to be hunter. Don't know when they learned to use fire and start to do cook for their families.

I guess this is why they can only cook outside the house and not inside the kitchen.

1 day, Kbe came home from a cub scout camping and told me about campfire cooking. I went ahead and researched on Dutch Oven. We tested it out with Mountain Dew Chicken. It was much easier than I expected. Kbe is ready to make a meal for me.

Ingredients
- 6 chicken tights
- 2-3 strips of bacon
- 5 carrots
- 1 small onion
- 10 floral of cauliflower
- 5-6 mushroom
- 1 large potatoes
- 1 can Mountain Dew (or any cream soda)

1 hour or 1 night before cooking, season the chicken with salt, sugar and soy sauce.
Cut the vegetables in big chunk and the bacon into 1 inch pieces.
Coat the chicken with flour right before cooking.

Light up 25 charcoal briquettes. Set all burning charcoal under the Dutch Oven to start.
When the oven is heated up, cook the bacon until crispy.
Take the bacon out and leave the oil.
Pan fry the chicken with the bacon oil. Flip the chicken when the surface is cooked, so you are browning the chicken.

Layer vegetables on top of chicken. Add Mountain Dew.
Put the lid on. Move 15 charcoal on top of the lid. (This will give 350F heat)

Leave it for 45-60 minutes.
