In reply to douglas chandler. My dad made this years ago, and I remember him dunking the chicken in boiling water for a few seconds before putting it in the salt. It was amazing.

I have cooked this before…. But I got the salt wet first, then packed the chicken in the salt until you can’t see it.

You use an ice pick or chisel to crack the salt open. Dramatic and delicious.

In reply to Anna. That's fantastic with rice, corn and green beans.

What a wonderful, easy meal! This definitely falls into the “finger lickin’ good” category for me. I followed the directions exactly and had no problems at all making this. I served it with basmati rice, green beans and baby corn. There was enough leftover glaze from the chicken to drizzle over the rice. Next I plan to try this with chicken wings. Thanks Tomoko and Toshiko for a truly outstanding recipe 🙂

In reply to three feathers. You're the second person to mention salt roasted spuds. I wonder if you use rock salt or kosher salt?

oh my goodness, i love salt-roasted chicken!
have also roasted small spuds (fingerlings are good for this) in salt and they’re just delish…..it’s been a while since i’ve done this, so thank you for the reminder; this is simple, yet elegant ;0)

In reply to sippitysup. Greg I also heard that roasting beets like this is amazing. I'll try both.

Try this technique with tiny potatoes (only bury nearly the whole thing). You will be just as amazed. GREG
