Being able to do the prep ahead of time was really great. The only change I did was the chicken thighs were frozen when I put them in the marinaid because as good as my cooler is I didnt trust raw chicken for 48 hours. It worked out well. I will definetly do this again.5 stars

I generally make this in my outdoor fireplace in a hanging pot, browning the chicken first, then adding the rest. This time tried it in my 4 qt camp oven with just a half recipe using one chicken thigh, because my home grown chicken thighs are about 3 times the size of the store thighs. I used to cook in a camp oven all the time, but with the whole farm taking my time the last 30 years I really haven’t done it much lately. It brought back a lot of memories. I changed the coal distribution a little for my smaller oven and put 5 under and 10 on top, I am so glad you added that to this recipe! It came out perfect!5 stars

Nope, you could definitely freeze it for over 48 hours — up to a month or two and it should still be good!

Any concerns with freezing over 48 hours? I would prep up to a week ahead of time. Thanks so much for sharing.5 stars

I’m a longtime fan of Chicken Marbella and seeing this version for outdoor cooking was a godsend. I skipped the “brown in the pot” stage and sprinkled the sugar and wine in the pieces like the original recipe for more ease of prep. The pieces weren’t browned but still amazing. My brothers working on a shed on a cool day (no stove available) absolutely loved it. THANK YOU!!!5 stars

It was the highlight of our camping trip. Our friends keep asking us when we will make it again! I doubled it in my 14” Dutch oven (I had 10 chicken thighs), and ended up having to use a lot more coals than I initially calculated. Our fire pit had a metal grill that we put the coals on top of. I think the extra air circulation made them burn more quickly. Next time I’ll try placing the coals on the ground.5 stars

Yes, you can cook the whole recipe as written. But since you won’t have heat coming from the top (as you would with a Dutch oven), you’ll need to make sure you’re trapping the steam inside to finish cooking the chicken. But, theoretically, it should all work just the same.

When we make this at home, you may just want to use the original Silver Palate version. We use a shallow roasting pan or sometimes a sheet pan if we’re making a lot. As for temperature, go with the original 350 F for 50-60 minutes.
