# Salt-Crusted Chicken

Bone-in chicken legs with skin that I bake on a bed of coarse salt, with nothing else, until the skin is crisp.

## What you need

- 5 Chicken leg quarters, cut, with skin
- Coarse salt (A generous amount)

## How I make it

1. Preheat the oven to 395-430°F.
2. Place the chicken in a pan lined with parchment paper, leaving gaps between the pieces.
3. Put a generous amount of coarse salt in the gaps.
4. Bake for about 45 minutes.

## What I've learned

- You can season the chicken to taste.
