This weekend, I made Salt Baked Chicken.
Just so you know, this is the GREATEST way to make chicken of any of them. I’ve never had a better chicken.
That said, the proposition of it is INSANE. Basically, you take about 4 1/2 lbs of salt, and you heat it up in a big pan.
You have already prepsared your whole 4 pound chicken, rubbed it with Vermouth, and set it to dry for 2 hours on a rack. Then you’ve wrapped it in cheese cloth and tied the top so that it is tightly sealed.
After that, once the salt is hot, you take all but about 1 inch of salt out of the pan and place it in a temperature proof bowl. You then place the chicken in the salt, and pour the rest of the hot salt over it, you then cover this, and place it on a medium heat for an hour and a half.
It was so juicy, and tender.
I did do some things wrong tho. I could have waited for the salt to be hotter than I did. And i should have cooked it longer too.
Anyway, you need to give this counter-intuitive dish a try!
