Directions

1. Prepare your campsite by ensuring you have a clean cooking area and a stable heat source, such as a campfire or portable grill.

2. In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, cumin, and salt. Mix well to create a spice blend.

3. Pat the chicken thighs or breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the spices stick better and promotes browning.

4. Drizzle the oil over the chicken and rub it in to coat evenly. Then sprinkle the spice blend over the chicken, ensuring all sides are well-covered.

5. Preheat your campfire grill or skillet over medium heat until hot, about 5 minutes. If using a grill, make sure the flames have settled down and the coals are glowing.

6. Place the seasoned chicken on the grill or in the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). You want the chicken to be golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside.

7. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps keep the juices locked in for a more tender bite.

8. Slice the chicken, if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious campfire meal!
