According to the National Park Service, Yellowstone National Park has more than 10,000 thermal features.The park is an active supervolcano, and when water seeps through the earth's surface, it becomes superheated.This process constantly repeats itself, and the water in some springs can be close to the boiling point. .Geysers erupt can be awe-inspiring for some, but others just shrug and wonder if they could cook a chicken in there.10 people were busted by a park ranger after he saw them hiking toward Shoshone Geyser Basin while carrying cooking pots. .The ranger followed them to their al fresco kitchen and saw that they were already boiling two whole chickens.3 of the hot pot cooks were cited for "foot traffic in a thermal area.".If you're thinking of prepping a whole chicken, maybe just stick to an oven
