Camping Chicken

This chicken is lovingly called camping chicken because it was created the first time my family went camping after I changed my lifestyle. After changing my lifestyle I was always a little nervous when doing the things I had always done for the first time since the change. Okay sometimes really nervous! This recipe is good because I would prepare it the day before we leave and grill it up the first night at the campsite. I always make extra as the leftovers are super delicious the next day!! Enjoy!
