NEVER Roast Your Chicken Again — Try This Old FARM Trick!

A whole chicken sealed inside a thick salt crust looks unusual—but wait until that shell cracks open. Join Harlan Whitcomb in the farmhouse kitchen as he prepares a whole chicken inside a salt-and-flour dough shell, bakes it, and breaks open the crust with a wooden mallet to reveal the supper underneath. You’ll see how to season the chicken, seal the crust, check doneness, and uncover the bird without covering your dinner in broken shell. The crust is discarded before serving—it’s part of the cooking method.
