Thanks for the reminder, Jason! Haven’t made this on in a while!

I made this at the firehouse yesterday. It’s perfect because there is practically no prep time, so I can get it in the oven quick instead of being interrupted with calls.
Got a bunch of strange looks and “this is gonna be some dry chicken” comments as I filled a pan full of salt.

But they all came around once I popped it out of the oven and they could see the juice bubbling under the crispy skin.

I make it at home all the time for the wife and I.

Stevo, it may sound strange but that’s what happenes. You put chicken on a salt. I think it has something to do with chicken juices going back and forth between chicken and a salt bed.

I know what you are thinking, as I used it also and it’s good – The whole fish baked in a salt crust. In that case you indeed wrap the fish in a salt, all over, and the result is amazing as it keeps a fish meat moist.

but this technique for chicken is different, don’t ask me why and who came up with it, but it works

Števo, je to presne tak. Kura sa pečie položené na 1 kile soli. Samotné kura sa osolí mierne teda primerane, nerobí sa žiadna krusta. Komu je kura na skúšku veľa, môže piecť kuracie stehná.

“Chicken on Salt” is an awkward, if literal, translation. It doesn’t make much sense in English because if one use the word “on” in a recipe it usually refers to the physical placement of the food. It is literally on top of whatever it is “on”. With this title, one would expect the chicken to be sitting on a bed of salt, not really an appetizing prospect. A better title for the recipe, given the description above, might be “Salt Encrusted Baked Chicken” or even “Baked Chicken With Salt”. Of course modern cooking in many nations has turned away from excessive use of salt for health reasons.
