salt baked kampung chicken 盐焗鸡

experimented yim goke guy 盐焗鸡 on 31.7.2018. ^^

turned out pretty good – tasty, tender, moist…only that it is basically just a nice baked chicken, not particularly my favourite. 🙂

used a S$6.90 kampung chicken from sheng shiong..

searched internet for recipe…found a web modified method as the 古早做法need like 3kg salt..salt expensive too la!. 🙂
