Chicken Cooked in a Salt Crust


Mix 1kg plain flour and 1 kg of course salt add cold water slowly until you have a pastry you can roll. In your chicken add the liver of 3 chickens, salt and pepper, a branch of rosemary and a bay leaf. Wrap the chicken in the pastry and bake in oven (180 degrees centigrade) for an hour and a half for a small chicken or two and a half hours for a larger bird. Unfortunately I got it wrong and only went for two hours and had to reinsert in oven embalmed in foil (note to self don't always trust Larousse) . Serve with simple salad dressed in nut oil. This is a lovely moist "chickeny" meal and the liver is a lovely touch.
