Hungarian chicken recipes

Ok, Laszlo gave me this traditional hungarian recipe. Sounds so weird but he claims that it's a favorite dish of his daughters besides one of the few he can actually make. It sounds so weird when he described it but can't wait to try it at home. Even with all the sale he claims that the dish will not be salty.

Hungarian Crispy Baked Chicken

Cut whole chicken in half, season if desired
Line baking pan with salt (1kg)
Place chicken on pan (cut side facing down)
Bake for 60 minutes for average size chicken at 180C temperature

Do not turn chicken over

Another variation......

Same as above except:
Whole chicken
Apple cut in 4 & put inside chicken, seal all openings to trap in apple aroma
With additional ½ kg of salt add enough water to make consistency for mud pack
Cover the whole chicken to make a mud pack

Bake for 50 minutes
