Dutch Oven Chicken

It’s dutch oven chicken season! We love using our crockpot and dutch oven as soon as the Fall season rolls around and it’s starting to look a lot like Fall here in New England. One of our favorite dishes happens to be chicken cooked in a dutch oven. What is a dutch oven? A dutch oven is a thick walled pot with a tight fitting lid. 

I have included a handful of my favorite dutch ovens affiliate links for your shopping convenience.

Cast Iron Dutch Oven – Dishwasher Safe

A little side note about dutch ovens and there ease of use. Be sure to get one that is dishwasher safe and is made of thick cast aluminum which provides quick heating. One of my favorite features is that it’s non-stick inside and out so not only does your food not stick to the sides, but if it spills over, it doesn’t stick to the outside.

Another feature of a dutch oven is it can act as a steamer as well. 

This dutch oven can be used on the stovetop and the coolest part, you can even make a cake in it. I can’t wait to try that out too. 

You can find this dutch oven pot on Amazon in a variety of colors with great reviews as well.  This classic black dutch oven is an Amazon Choice product and a little cheaper too.
