  • If your chicken is thawed, put it to thaw the night before your dinner in the refrigerator.
  • In the morning, place the chicken in a deep container and marinate with the cup of coarse salt. With your hands, spread the salt all over the skin.
  • Let the chicken marinate in the salt all day; I do it at room temperature in a cool room because this way the chicken absorbs more salt, but you can also do it in the refrigerator.
  • 1 hour before serving the chicken, preheat your oven to 250 degrees Celsius.
  • Take the chicken and wash it very well, removing all the coarse salt. With paper towels or a kitchen towel, dry the chicken thoroughly.
  • Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and thyme.
  • Place the chicken in a roasting pan with a rack (this will allow the fat from the chicken to drip down into the pan). Pour 1 cup of water into the rack to prevent your oven from getting smoky.
  • Bake the chicken for 30 minutes; after 20 minutes, you should start to see how the skin browns and begins to get crispy. If the skin starts to burn, lower the temperature a bit; if you see that it is not browning, raise the temperature a bit.
  • Remove the chicken, flip it, and return it to the oven for another 15 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken again, flip it once more, and bake for another 5-10 minutes.
