Default Tin Foil Packets

We have been camping and tried something new. Each camper gets a tin foil packet. Then we usually have chicken or fish in pieces or filet or breast. Then we add some veggies like onion, red pepper, lemon, garlic for aromatics and can add green beans or carrots etc. On top of that you add your spices and salt and pepper. We use olive oil but butter is great too. Then you can add your paprika or lemon pepper or even curry etc. Whatever you want. We have only cooked on a gas grill, but you can do this on the coals too.
Along with that we chop up potatoes, coat with olive oil and salt and pepper and put a large tin foil packet of those on too. These are done amazingly fast and I think because the heat is so high the flavors are amazing. Also because all the flavors stay cooked in. I highly recommend anyone to try this.

We are going to continue doing it at home. An easy way for individualized tastes to cook at the same time and it is absolutely delicious.

Anyone else tried this - have any tips? I love doing it.
