I saw this recipe on Joe Pastry and I knew I had to make it to satisfy my curiosity as to how good this chicken would taste wrapped in salt crust and roasted for 75 minutes ! It was one of the best roasted chicken I have ever tasted and I really really loved it. According to Joe, salt crusted chicken is a French preparation that makes up in razzle-dazzle what it lacks in presentation. This technique produces a subtly seasoned and extremely moist bird . Wild Boar and myself ate the whole chicken with the stuffed veggies and boy, it was so flavorsome...the aroma of baked bread and the Rosemary herbs and lemony smell really whet up our appetite. Joe, if you are reading this...thank you so much for this lovely French preparation that makes chicken cooked this way so flavorful. A keeper for sure :) Do hop over to see the passion in his work and the generosity in sharing what he knows about baking techniques. I clicked on " Who is Joe Pastry " and read about his life and I deeply admired what he has had gone through.
