The oven immediately turn on to heat up to 200 degrees. To prepare the chicken. Wash and properly dry with paper towel. Cut it with one hand (for the breast), to decompose a butterfly. Slightly discourage hammer...

In a heavy baking dish (ceramic or cast iron), pour 1 kg of salt. Put the chicken skin side up. Spread the chicken two or three sprigs of rosemary (I put a few sprigs under the chicken).

Top fill chicken with remaining salt (you may need slightly less or slightly more, depending on the size of the chicken...).

It is important that the carcass was completely covered with salt on all sides. Put the chicken in the oven at medium level for 1 hour and 15 minutes or 1.5 hours, depending on size. ... And forget about it at this time!

After the specified time get the chicken from the oven, let it sit a little and a little cool. Then gently remove the salt shell. Removing the basic layer of salt, I still shift the chicken on the tray and finally remove the excess salt with a kitchen brush. That's all!
