I wrapped these well and threw them in the firepit while wilderness camping. They turned out great.

My husband and I loved this recipe. Used chicken thigh and leg and it was awesome. Will definitely do again. Will add more veggies next time.

This is super easy to make and my kids who are 13, 10 and 3 all love it. They love the Grilled Lemon Pepper Halibut and Squash Packs too but we substitue Tilapia for the Halibut.
