This is one of our "go-to" meals whenever we go camping. Make sure you back away from the stove when you add the lemon juice or you'll be attacked by the red pepper steam!

  • 1
    Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a bag.

    Sprinkle with garlic, red pepper flakes, and lemon peel.
  • 5
    Cook another 2 minutes, turning chicken over a couple of times.
