Hi Dave, the East Asians have a dish called the Beggar's Chicken that is very similar to your dish here. First, the chicken is gutted and cleaned in the inside, but you leave the skin and the feathers intact. Second, you wrap the whole thing in clay, so the end product looks like an oversized football made of mud. Third, you put the mud football inside a burning fire like you did in the video. After it's done, the mud football becomes a hardened shell. Once you break the shell open, the feathers and some of the skin will be torn away as well, leaving you with a very moist, fully cooked chicken. Apparently it's called the Beggar's Chicken because the ancient Chinese beggar gangs could steal a chicken and make the dish without any other utensils. The modern version, which is served in many restaurants, are still made in a similar way, but the chicken is defeathered and wrapped by a layer of tin foil or baking paper before they wrap it with mud. It's much cleaner, but I always feel that it took away the original story.

Yeah boy! Thx Dave, love the cooking episodes.

[@TedsHoldOver]

This, I enjoyed! Thank you, Dave. Hope your pa-in-law is feeling better.

[@ElTerrible666]

Where are your cookin shows?

[@HerroDawg270]

Still waiting on the pigeon pie video!

[@danwestonappliedword]

Dave, you are absolutely the best there is at instructional videos. I really miss seeing you on TV, man, but the wealth of things you provide here is astounding! Thanks for doing this!

[@FarEastSurvival]

This was a great video Dave. You really make it seem like we are out there with you. Thank you for sharing

[@nerblebun]

That's a woodsman's meal right there my friend. I've got a little ankle biter mutt that's so fast & stout, she chases down cottontails all the time. She gnaws the head open, eats the brain, then always brings me the untouched body with all the meat. Haven't found a diseased one yet so I've been eating rabbit all winter and still have a few in the freezer. I'll for sure & certain be cooking some rabbit using this awesome culinary method. Thank you Chef Canterbury.

[@NFT2]

I get so hyped for cooking videos thank you Dave.

[@agreen9813]

Thank you Dave, for sharing your knowledge all these years. I've been watching and adding to my tool box sense the beginning. Keep on keeping on Brother.

[@sniffsheee]

miss you on dual survival... glad to see you continuing this survival education for us. Thank you Dave. awesome vids too.

[@jasoncaissie530]

Thanks for another great video Dave... Also wishing for father-in-law all the best. God Bless..

[@shirleychase1033]

Thank you for putting this video out again. I enjoyed it.

[@InFlamesOwns152]

Thanks Dave. Excellent work.

[@christophercampbell7703]

Thank you Brother, Oh how I love you.God bless you and yours.Some day soon to your school.

[@tomwilson7202]

Thanks for the great video, Dave! It looked absolutely delicious. It looked easy enough for even me to accomplish (Old Bay is in my haversack, too). Sorry to hear that Iris' Dad isn't feeling well. Prayers are going up and positive vibes are heading to him. By the way, I really appreciate when you mention your family on camera. It underscores the importance that you place on family and kind of makes us feel part of it in a way. Anyway, thanks for sharing with us the things you value most. ROCK ON, Brother!!! :)

[@Mystickneon]

We use a similar method in our WV camping trips... we get the fire good and going, dig a hole, do a layer of hot coals from the fire, then some dirt, then the food in aluminum foil, then more dirt, then more coals.... then leveled with dirt. Let it cook for a while, dig it out and enjoy. We've done venison tenderloin, ribs, roasts, pork chops.... I tell you, it's one of the best tasting meat I have ever eaten, hands-down. After watching this video, now I'm hungry again!!!

[@LivingInExile]

My mouth was watering the whole time you were eating. Can't wait to get out and try this recipe. Great video as usual. Thanks Dave.

[@Deeceesadventures]

Roots, meat in aluminum foil in a coal pit is my favorite way to cook in the wood.also ,a can of corn beef hash with sweet potatoes in aluminum foil, in a coal pit is what I eat most mornings.yum

[@bvbjb]

Great video Dave. Thanks for sharing.

[@Moonshinedave1]

I always enjoy watching Dave's videos for lots of reasons, but one of the biggest is that he lives in the same general area as I, so the plants, trees and animals he speaks of are the things that are around me as well.

[@ceciltuckyhillbilly419]

Love the old bay I use it on everything

[@jinxjones5497]

I love these camp recipes videos. Rabbits are an easy target. There's even a local family owned fish market where I am that also offers game. Pheasant, duck, rabbit an that kind of thing with the fur an feathers still on. Good stew material..

[@forestkobold]

great tip dave thanks.

[@willchalmers55]

i wish all cookin shows were like this lol great vid bud, keep up the good work

[@jimkoz5052]

[@CaptnAllIn]

[@apar1560]

Great lookin' camp meal for sure ! Good job ! THANKS ...Alan 🇨🇱

[@GWHcraig1088]

Making me hungry Dave! good job as always!!

[@sanguisdominus]

I genuinely want to become his Padawan. I'd obey his every order with "Yes, my Master.", and learn from everything he told me to do. I've practised some of the things in his videos - for example, I've managed to cook rice with a fire I've started in the forest in the middle of winter when it was covered in snow. I have so much sincere respect for Dave's knowledge and experience of self-reliance.

[@sanguisdominus]

Also - keep the bones. They make awesome materials to shave into arrowheads. :p

[@Surgeon0fSteel]

Love your videos, thanks

[@PrimalOutdoors]

I should have never watched that at work an hour before lunch now I am starving, lol. Jason

[@Pete_Partak]

[@BeachBow]

[@HarryMcW]

[@AlliedAirsoft]

I learned a lot from this video. Thank you for sharing.

[@Jayveepogii]

your the man dave!

[@eligarretson6416]

Nice video sir, I would love to see more open fire cooking, it's a difficult topic due to cooking meet at the right temps, keep up the great work!!

[@hargieboo]

I'm kinda glad I just ate breakfast and am full. Otherwise, I'd be drooling while watching you enjoy that meal. The best part of this video was seeing how much you loved that food.

[@TrailWright]

Ya really gotta love this. Real deal cookin supreme !! Thanks

[@tomas19cronin]

Mann making me hungry just watching!! Good cooking Dave!

[@segaprophet]

Nothing better than good food in the great outdoors!

[@livingsurvival]

Great video, mouth watering for sure ;)-

[@mostlymichaelcanada]

Man, I'm hungry now. Thanks Dave!

[@vicarous5084]

Dave i know this is kinda hard to do in the field, but here in georgia, its fine eating with rabbit wrapped in bacon, some wild onions, potatoes, spices, tomatoes... really good... specially if you are near a creek, get some crawdads... thats a fine meal indeed.

[@marccr1]

All of the wild Onion is eatable and cooks up nicely. The Tops, the Bulb and the roots. and they grow just about every where.

[@Tengu3000]

I literally just had to go eat cause of this video, great work as always Mr C

[@John-Sherwood-W4JFS]

Enjoyed your video. Nice cookin

[@jimcooper4578]

have you ever tried a seasoning called spike? its a great seasoning for bush cooking too i use it for everything. its a mix of like 70 herbs and spices its great stuff and good for you too.

[@MrHistoryfreak]

I love this video. I use this method when i find fresh water muscles and clams.

[@Somitten]

Helluva chef Dave. That rabbit looks like fine eatin!

[@ElTerrible666]

Great dish. Wish I could cook like that.

[@Finkin79]

Awesome. I would pay good money to see martha stewarts reaction to your "cutting board" Dave. Thx for the vid!

[@williamdroom5789]

Good job! I bet that would be good with a few pats of butter or a strip of bacon to flavor the spuds as rabbit is pretty lean. I always carry some foil folded up in my kit. You never know when it might come in handy.

[@briargoatkilla]

Looked nice and tender. I had to chuckle about the how to tell it's done bit, though.

[@ralfbear]

That looks really tasty! I might try something similar using a stack of dock leaves here in the UK instead of the foil and see how it turns out. :-)

[@brucewayne-cave]

Outstanding

[@gsp0113]

Good job. That looked incredibly tasty!

[@ronburnette60]

Great video Dave , I love what you are doing on your channel. From one old grunt to another great job...

[@wallaceviviansadventures2095]

looked real tasty Dave. had rabbit over the fire before but not this way.got to try it

[@philipbarrick4149]

Hope your father-in-law feels better. thanks for showing on rabbit and squirrel how to cook it and dressing festive for it I spot to switch it up

[@chanseortzman9467]

I love camp cooking videos

[@lbdonp]

...WOW...oh man... you kiddin' me... mmmmMmmm... don't get no beddr n' this... ;) great video and good baking lesson.. looked delicious. take care and thanks again. Don P.

[@stevesmith-ji6px]

now that's a fine meal!!! one thing I carry in all of my bags is a decent container of SALT and PEPPER!!

[@EnduranceChannel]

Dave, I think you should do a video of the yoyo fishing reel

[@capnfox4355]

Sweet old bay, I love old bay seasoning. I love in Maryland and old bay is literally everywhere. This is almost nowhere you wont find old bay except for maybe in the cities. But who likes cities anyway.

[@zachhenderson4586]

Damn you Dave I'm at work and you made that rabbit look so good now I'm hungry lol thanks for another video brother

[@redvoter3076]

Reminds me of something I did about 40 years ago I had fresh caught catfish on the creek Bank wrapped it in Wild Grape Leaves and set it in the fire it was pretty good I brought some store-bought crackers to have with it

[@shifty874]

you make hungery Dave good job

[@TheRealNakedSavage]

good stuff

[@thaiguysabu]

do you not have any burdock leaves or some other kind of leaves big enough in which to wrap and bake the rabbit? just wondering......

[@DavidCanterbury]

Not this early in the season

[@hanginwithbullfrog4657]

Awesome video Sir, do u guys sell those shirts on ur website?.... And why no pine?

[@thepronto1961]

Now I am hungry! Looks awesome!

[@justingillum]

love the video's keep it up

[@superfuntoyz123]

Sitting here cooking store bought bacon and i know in my heart id rather be out in the woods catching prepping and eating some meat of the earth. Then i started thinking, im glad dave has a youtube channel, and i wonder if cody has a youtube channel?

[@Jeremy-yr8yg]

Nice! I have never eaten rabbit. Would like to try it.

[@giusepperesponte8077]

When you opened that tin foil... That was a moment for the books right there haha

[@JustOneAsbesto]

I'm really surprised I've never seen this cooking method before. It's way less work-intensive than digging a pit to roast in, and way less resource and fuel-intensive than a traditional brick or clay oven. Really ingenious. Anyone know where this method comes from?

[@ravenshadow1969]

I love you videos. So do you teach classes to people in person? I do not know anything about hunting survival. I would love to learn.

[@pryzmcat]

Thanks..nice video as usual:)

[@fergusrb]

This is funny, after all the cooking and good information my question is with your fork. I am getting into spoon carving so was that fork home made or store bought. when out with the wife I see wood spoons for cooking but no spoons or forks for eating. still learned a lot. thanks for the video

[@joshtaylor6086]

I would like to know how, in a survival situation, you would go about saving the leftover rabbit an keep it from spoiling should you need to.

[@kokozilla]

Making me hungry, Dave!

[@SupComRaiden2]

I'm curious what's the reason why pine shouldn't be used for cooking? I never heard that before.

[@DavidCanterbury]

Makes the meat taste like pine sol

[@SupComRaiden2]

Thanks, I'll have to remember that.

[@smirnoff46]

Also the pine resins become toxic and tar-like when burned. Pine is one of the biggest creators of Creosote. It is good for preserving railroad ties...and that's not good eats

[@mikewinans9953]

Dave do you have ramps up in that area

[@TheOtterOutdoorsman]

I really need to try rabbit... really really need to try it

[@EatCarbs]

Looked good Dave.. I think you need a Chefs Hat now. >_o Thanks for the video

[@Caallb]

Where did you get your firestriker? And is there a certain type to it?

[@mafghine]

I want to thank you for this vid and all others. You are the man. It has been raining here for 2 days and I can feel like im cooking a rabbit in the woods thanks to this vid. What style shirt is that?

[@BorealWoodsrunner]

one word Dave....YUMMY :)

[@claytonleach8848]

Nice I'm interested in knowing how to fix / process a goose I have some chickens that will be ready for butcher also.

[@InoxEdge]

Looks delicious.

[@pnwbushcraft4009]

first view of a dave canterbury video :O life complete

[@capnfox4355]

How do you tell the difference between wild onion and onion grass?
