An Idaho man has been issued a two-year ban from Yellowstone National Park for attempting to roast chickens in a hot spring.

After being alerted to hikers in an off-limits thermal area of the park carrying cooking pots on Friday, Aug. 7, a park ranger found two whole chickens in a hot spring inside a burlap sack, according to East Idaho News.

The unidentified man from Idaho was cited along with two others in the group for walking in a thermal area, according to the outlet.

In Mammoth Hot Springs court on Sept. 10, the man pleaded guilty to the citation, East Idaho News reports. He was also charged for violating closures and use limits, and was forced to pay $600 per charge plus two years of unsupervised probation and the two-year ban from the park.

3. Technically, he wasn't "roasting" the chicken

He was boiling it. I also find it interesting the burlap sack didn't surrender integrity under those temperatures.

4. West Thumb Geyser Basin?

There's a feature there, Fishing Cone, that's right on the edge of Yellowstone Lake, and the sign says tourists used to cook fish and eggs in it. Before they built the complete boardwalk, you could easily get to it.

So, I understand the temptation, but frankly, chicken boiled in sulphuric hot water sounds disgusting.
