1st time i made salt baked seabass fish!
it was very nice but some parts were a bit too salty.
it's difficult to separate the salt from certain parts of the fish.

a new attempt on salt baked chicken,
using the real big coarse salt
Recipe - Salt Baked Chicken
1. season whole chicken
with salt, white pepper, shaoxing wine,
leave in the fridge to dry (i left them for 2-3 days)
2. wrap with grease paper
- on the grease paper,
place ginger, red dates, wolf berries and dang gui
on the top and bottom of chicken
- add chinese shaoxing wine (about 2-3 tbsp)
- fold paper and wrap, use another paper if needed
3. prepare the pot for baking
- heat up coarse salt by frying in dry pan
- add hot salt at bottom of baking pot
- add wrapped chicken and pandan leaves (don't forget!)
- cover chicken with hot coarse salt
- cover pot with lid or aluminium foil
3kg coarse salt from giant supermarket $1.50
4. bake chicken in the oven - i used the turbo oven,
200-220 degrees, 60-70 min
1 add pandan leaves from the garden
5. remove chicken from pot and unfold the paper
6. serve chicken hot and with fragrant white steamed rice
this attempt makes chicken a bit dry...
perhaps i should steam the chicken in a pot with a bit of water
will be yummy i'm sure!

notes from the above video:
Hakka Salt-Baked Chicken is a traditional classic of chicken "baked" in coarse salt. Back when the modern oven was not available, the Hakkas would fry coarse salt and bury the chicken in the smoking hot salt to cook it. These days, this dish is hard to find in Singapore so when I see it on the menu, I make it a point to order it!
