Dutch Oven Chicken Dinner

 DUTCH OVEN CHICKEN  (Make as much as you need)  
onions, sliced 
carrots 
potatoes, sliced
Pancake Mix
season salt 
garlic powder 
chicken pieces 
1 can evaporated milk, optional

Make this in a deep dutch oven. Make as much as you want. Place in
dutch oven; A layer of onions, a layer of carrots, & a layer of potatoes.
Place pancake mix, season salt & garlic powder in a bag. Shake chicken
in bag until coated. Layer chicken on top of potatoes. Place lid on dutch
oven. For a 12" dutch oven put 12 briquettes on top & 12 on the bottom.
For a 14" put 15 briquettes on top & bottom. Cook for 1½ hours. Pour
over evaporated milk the last 15 minutes of cooking to make a gravy
if desired. (I add it!)

If making for a crowd.....I have stacked 2 or 3 of these and cook them all at once.  When I check them I put the top one on the bottom of the new stack to rotate them around.  Replenish briquettes as needed, they probably will burn out before this is done.
