I don’t count carbs but I don’t think I’ve ever made chicken with carbs. Simplest is onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper and paprika

Roasting chicken surrounded by a layer of coarse salt and nothing else is my absolute favourite way to prepare chicken. I serve it with steamed vegetables like broccoli and zucchini and a fresh salad. Delicious!

Looking for more than just plain spices.

When I first heard about salt chicken, I couldn't imagine it would be good. And then I tried it. The skin becomes unbelievably crispy and delectable and the chicken juicy and flavourful. You can add garlic cloves, jalapeno, rosemary or thyme, but I really think it is unneccessary.

Tons of sauteed onions.

Salsa poured over

Chumus with drizzled olive oil and zataar

A favorite in my house (even with picky eaters) is broiled chicken.

I put onion powder and garlic powder. Put in the broiler until the skin gets crispy (about 25-30 min), flip the chicken pieces over and broil until the other side looks done(maybe another 20 min).

So much flavor and so little work.

I have always removed the skin, I guess since my mom always did. so I am a drop grossed out by it.
should it try keeping it on??

and for that recipe, just sprinkle coarse salt on top of the chicken pieces?

You don't have to eat the skin but it becomes a gorgeous, crispy brown and keeps the moisture in. You can definitely remove it before eating.

You place the chicken in the middle of a pan ( I use a cookie sheet) and sprinkle a layer of coarse salt about a cm think around the chicken, not on it. That is very important!!!!!

I prefer to make this using a whole chicken, breast down, but pieces definitely work. You just need to keep an eye on them because they cook quicker.

ETA- you must use coarse salt, table salt will not work.

I never remove my skin. I remove before eating. Cooking with skin on keeps it much juicier

Hi, what temperatures, for how long? Covered or uncovered? Thanks! Does sea salt work?

Interesting!!
Curious how it works if the salt is around the chicken and not on it??

Uncovered at 180° C for about an hour and a half, less if you are using pieces. It's ready when the skin is golden brown and crispy and juices run clear and your kitchen smells like a rotisserie shop.

I'm in Israel and use what is labelled as מלח גס. The salt needs to be in the form of larger, coarser crystals.

If that much salt was on the chicken it would be inedible.

I'm not sure of the exact science behind it but something about the coarse salt around the chicken enhances the cooking process. You can use this process to roast whole, unpeeled vegetables like potatoes, beetroot and kohlrabi ( all very carby, I know) and they are absolutely delicious.

What do you mean by breast placed down? It’s like a spatchcock chicken right? Thanks!

Can be spatchcocked but doesn't have to be. I usually don't use a spatchcock.

Also how do you steam the zucchini? Sounds good
