• Campfire Nachos: Get BBQ Pulled Chicken with taco seasoning at home and pack it chilled along with a lidded cast-iron pan, chips, shredded cheese, salsa, green onions, and any other favorite nacho toppings. Once you’re ready to enjoy, layer the chips, meat & cheese in your cast-iron and heat over campfire or grill until warmed through and cheese is melted.
• BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwiches: Pile the smoked pulled chicken onto buns and drizzle with your favorite barbecue sauce. Add some coleslaw or pickles for extra flavor and crunch.
• Smoky Chicken Tacos: Fill tortillas with the pulled chicken, and top with your preferred taco toppings like salsa, diced onions, shredded cheese, and cilantro.
• Campfire Quesadillas: Spread the pulled chicken on tortillas, add cheese, and any desired extras like chopped bell peppers or onions. Cook the quesadillas over a campfire grill or on a stovetop skillet until the cheese melts and the tortillas turn golden and crispy.

Remember to pack the pulled chicken in a sealed container or ziplock bag for your camping trip. It can be reheated over a campfire or stove when you're ready to enjoy a delicious and smoky camping meal!

Use cold leftover chicken from The Post Chicken & Beer

For the chicken lovers looking to elevate their camping meals, here's a hack using cold leftover chicken from The Post Chicken & Beer.

Pack the cold chicken: When preparing for your camping trip, pack the cold leftover chicken in an airtight container or ziplock bag. Make sure it stays chilled during transportation to maintain freshness.

• Grilled Chicken Sandwiches: Bring a portable grill or campfire-friendly cooking equipment. Reheat the cold chicken over the grill or fire until it's warmed through. Place the chicken on buns or bread, and add your preferred condiments, lettuce, tomatoes, or any other toppings you desire for tasty grilled chicken sandwiches.
• Chicken Salad Wraps: Dice the cold chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a separate container, combine the chicken with mayonnaise, chopped celery, diced onions, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well to create a chicken salad. When ready to eat, spread the chicken salad onto tortillas or lettuce leaves, roll them up, and enjoy flavorful chicken salad wraps.

Using cold leftover chicken allows you to transform it into mouthwatering camping dishes with minimal effort. Enjoy the convenience and deliciousness of repurposing your leftover meat while enjoying the great outdoors!
