Instructions
  1. How to roast a whole chicken with a crispy salt crust in the oven? Begin by gathering the necessary ingredients. Choose a fresh chicken with firm skin that adheres tightly to the meat. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit).
  2. Wash the chicken thoroughly and pat it dry with paper towels. Remove any remaining feathers if present.
  3. In a bowl, combine liquid honey and vegetable oil, mixing until you achieve a smooth mixture. If the honey has solidified, you can pre-melt it in the microwave or by using a double boiler.
  4. Rinse the lemon thoroughly and dry it. Use a knife to make deep cuts all over the lemon to help release its juice during the chicken’s baking process.
  5. Place the whole lemon inside the prepared chicken. Optionally, you can season the inside of the chicken with salt and pepper before inserting the lemon.
  6. Spread a layer of salt evenly on a baking sheet or in a baking dish.
  7. Position the chicken with its back facing down on the bed of salt. This will slow down the release of juices from the chicken, helping it retain its juiciness. You can also tie the chicken’s legs together with kitchen twine. Brush the top of the chicken with the honey-oil mixture; it’s the honey that will create a crispy, golden-brown crust on the chicken.
  8. To prevent the wingtips and legs from overbaking, you can cover them with pieces of foil. Place the chicken in the preheated 180°C (356°F) oven and roast it for approximately 1.5 hours or until it achieves a beautiful golden-brown color. Periodically baste the chicken with the remaining honey mixture from the bowl, as the juices released by the chicken will be absorbed into the salt.
  9. To check if the chicken is done, insert a knife into the meat. If the knife goes in easily, and the juices run clear, it’s ready. If the juices are pink or red, continue cooking. Enjoy your meal!
