Chicken baked on salt in the oven
Description
People prepare chicken in so many different ways—marinating it in various sauces, baking, frying, boiling, stewing, experimenting with spices and seasonings. In my opinion, one of the most successful methods is baking chicken in the oven on a bed of salt. The secret is that the chicken absorbs only the amount of salt it needs. Baking on a salt bed makes the chicken incredibly tender and juicy. Try this method and surprise your family with an original dish.
