Easiest Baked Chicken

  • 2 boxes of coarse kosher salt
  • 3 whole chickens

Instructions

  1. Pour kosher salt onto baking sheet
  2. Place 3 whole chickens on top
  3. Bake at 475 for 30-45 minutes (depending on the size of the chickens)
  4. When you can pull a chicken leg off and the juices aren’t pink, they’re done!

The purpose of the salt is to draw out the fat in the chicken.

The salt absorbs evenly so it’s not too salty.
