Ingredients

Poultry - 1 piece
Coarse Salt - 52.9 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Pour 1.5 kg of salt evenly over the baking sheet, covering the entire surface. Then place it in the oven and let it heat up to 428°F.

Step 2

While the oven is heating, take the prepared chicken (washed, dried, and gutted) and cut it open along the belly (from tail to neck), drying the inside if necessary.

Step 3

Once the oven has heated up, remove the baking sheet and place the chicken cut side down on the salt so that the chicken is fully resting on the salt, not touching the baking sheet.
