(Posted on 5/14/12 at 11:05 am) I got the idea from watching Good Eats. I'm making steak and chicken fajitas, and I've got a half inch piece of flank steak. I'm thinking about 1:30 on each side should do I(I'm just gonna cook the chicken normally). Does anyone have any experience with this? Is there something else I should keep in mind.

Seems like it would burn to a crisp and taste like beef jerky coated in charcoal. I've cooked stuff wrapped in foil on top coals but not bare.

(Posted on 5/14/12 at 11:25 am to Patrick O Rly) I did it recently on accident, but it was pecan wood and not charcoal. I was cooking some chicken breast on skewers over a camp fire. I had my bricks set too low and when I placed my chicken over the fire they sat right on the coals. Said "screw it" and left them there. Best chicken I've ever cooked.
