Chicken Camping Recipes - Camping Meals

Some of these chicken camping recipes have more ingredients than you might want to bring with you camping. My suggestion, especially for the spices, is to plan ahead, measure out and bag your spices in small Ziploc bags, labeled for each recipe. That way you aren't having to bring a whole spice cabinet on your camping trip.

Other ingredients, such as rice, can also be measured out and put into Ziploc bags for each recipe. Now you have made each recipe easy to make and can enjoy your time camping. And if you are looking for super easy camping recipes for chicken, try my 100 Easy Camping Recipes book.
