Baked whole chicken on kosher salt... There is noone alive, I'm certain who has not seen or used this recipe in some variation. Chicken is a staple and a favorite of nearly everyone, but this is also a real favorite in our family., so I was obligated to add it.
If you are looking for a baked whole chicken recipe that will look festive, will be crispy and juicy and of course will taste great, then this is the one for you.
And let's not forget that this is a low fat recipe, since we are not adding one drop of oil. If you are watching your weight, this recipe will be perfect for you although it will be better (a shame, but better) to take off the skin before starting eating]
Don’t worry from the amount of the salt you see on the ingredients, the chicken will not be salty but will get a really great crispy skin.
There are basically 2 ways to make this chicken, it really depends upon the size of your pan and if you want to add potatoes or not.
The results will be the same no matter which way you select to prepare it.
What are the two different ways that you can fix it?
The first method will be to spread the kosher salt all over the bottom of the chicken roasting pan and cover it with baking sheet, such as parchment paper or foil, which will give you all of the baking sheet space on which to cook your chicken and the potatoes to go with them.
Or...you can put the chicken straight onto the pan and sprinkle the salt around the chicken, in this way you can use less salt but remember.... make sure the salt won't touch the chicken.
