Wrap and bake(1h 10m)
Rub chicken with wine. Stuff cavity with ginger and scallions. Wrap chicken completely in parchment paper, then foil. Pour half the salt into a cast-iron skillet. Nestle the wrapped chicken on top. Cover with remaining salt. Bake at 400°F for 60 min. Crack the salt crust open, unwrap, and serve.
Pro Tips for Western Kitchens
The salt crust acts like an oven-within-an-oven. It traps all moisture — this is the juiciest chicken you'll ever eat.
