At camp:

  1. Build a good bed of coals under the grate on your campfire. Cover the grate with aluminum foil.
  2. Wrap the potatoes in foil and place inside the fire to reheat.
  3. Coat the foil covered grate in olive oil. Then add the chopped onions, chile, and chicken strips. Grill until chicken is cooked through.
