[philmont] Cooking Meals - Hawaiian Chicken mystery solved!

Apparently this is one meal that has to be cooked in a certain way to get
a good result. The seasonings (I am speculating) could be introduced into
the recipe in a way that would result in something not very good tasting. I
have
cooked a bit and some recipes turn out awful if you don't follow the
recipe just so.

(who notes that most things taste good at Philmont, because you are
expending a lot of energy, and this usually results in even bland food
tasting good. Hawaiian chicken must really be miscooked for it to taste
as bad as some are reporting)

>>Hawaiian Chicken - you're better off skipping dinner guys.....forget it.
>>Worst food concoction ever! I don't care how you cook it, season it, eat

>>Chicken!!! Totally gross!

>>Keeping pace was a constant problem during shakedowns for us. It was a
>>problem from time to time at Philmont. Depended on who was leading that
