Cooking chickens in a Yellowstone hot spring in the United States has brought three people to hot water.
A park ranger heard a group with cooking pots walk into the park’s Shoshone geyser basin. The ranger found two whole chickens in a burlap sack at a hot spring. There was a pot nearby, Yellowstone spokeswoman Linda Veress said.
“Make dinner,” said defendant Eric Roberts of Idaho Falls, Idaho, when asked what the group was doing in the Yellowstone field.
As for whose idea it was: “It was kind of a joint thing,” explained Roberts.
