BRAISED CHICKEN WITH ROSEMARY, CHICKPEAS AND SALTED LEMON
This stew takes inspiration from long-simmered tagine dishes with many layers of flavors. In this weeknight version, a broth seasoned with salted lemon, rosemary and tomatoes bathes the chicken and chickpeas, making a lovely, hearty stew. For a bold and bright finish, lemon slices quick-pickled in juice and salt are added to the stew. A handful of hearty greens, a scattering of fresh herbs and a spoon of creamy yogurt ensures every bite is rich and flavorful. Serve over steamed couscous or with thick slices of crusty bread for dipping.

Steps:
- If using whole chicken legs, cut the joint just enough to bend the leg, and make a deep, 2-inch-long cut on the meat without cutting all the way through.
- Cut one half of the lemon crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick half moons. Transfer them to a medium bowl. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and use a fork to lightly crush the slices and release the juice. Cut the other lemon half into wedges for serving.
- Pat the chicken pieces dry and season both sides with salt. In a large lidded skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Working in batches if necessary, add the chicken pieces skin-side down, cover, and cook until the skin is golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Flip, cover and cook for another minute or two, then transfer chicken to a plate. If working in batches, add 2 more tablespoons oil to the skillet, sear the remaining chicken legs then transfer them to the plate.
- Pour off all but about 2 tablespoons of fat from the pan. Add the onions and sauté until just softened, about 2 minutes, then add the garlic and rosemary and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the white wine, then add the tomatoes with their juices, crushing the tomatoes with your hands as you go. Rinse the tomato can with 1 cup water. Add the water and the chickpeas to the pan. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
- Bring to a boil, return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and tender, 15 to 18 minutes.
- Uncover the pot and transfer the chicken to bowls or a large rimmed serving platter. Add the sliced lemon plus any accumulated juices to the pot, increase the heat to medium-high and allow to thicken slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Discard the rosemary stem, then stir in the hearty greens, remove from heat and season with additional salt if needed.
- To serve, spoon the stew over the chicken legs, top with a handful of the herbs, yogurt and fresh lemon wedges for squeezing. Drizzle with olive oil, if desired, and serve with steamed couscous or slices of crusty bread for dipping.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, combine soy sauce, lime juice, nam pla, garlic, chiles, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let cool completely.

Steps:
- Pat dry chicken with paper towels. Holding a 5-finger pinch of salt and positioning your hand at least 10" above chicken, evenly rain salt down over chicken. Repeat with several more pinches of salt until both inside and outside of chicken are covered with salt (be generous and make sure to get inside all the nooks and crannies). Place chicken on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and chill uncovered at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
- Let sit at room temperature 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Roast chicken until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of chicken thigh registers 165°F, 40-55 minutes. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest 15 minutes before carving.
SALTED BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN
The secret to moist fried chicken is maintaining the correct oil temperature throughout the process. If it's too low, the chicken will be greasy and soggy, and if it's too high, the coating will burn before the chicken is cooked through.

Steps:
- Fill a medium heavy-bottomed pot halfway with oil. Heat until a deep-fat thermometer reaches 340 degrees.
- Meanwhile, stir together buttermilk, eggs, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Whisk together flour, coarse salt, and cayenne in another bowl. Working in batches, dip each chicken piece into buttermilk mixture, coating completely (do not shake off any excess). Dredge in flour mixture, patting onto chicken to coat completely. Transfer to a plate.
- Working in batches (do not crowd pot), carefully place chicken in oil, and fry until deep golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes for wings, 9 to 10 minutes for other pieces. (While chicken is cooking, adjust heat as needed to maintain an oil temperature of 325 degrees. Return oil to 340 degrees before starting each new batch.)
- Transfer fried chicken to a paper-towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon; sprinkle with flaky salt. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SALTED CHICKEN
This recipe comes from Jamie Oliver's Happy Days cookbook. Surprisingly enough the chicken is not overly salty, just moist because the salt crust keeps all the juices inside.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200 C or 400 degrees F.
- Put all the salt into a bowl with the fennel seeds, eggs, lemon juice (save the juiced lemon skins), peppercorns and a wineglass of water and mix together.
- Crush the thyme in a pestle and mortar and add a couple good glugs of olive oil.
- Rub this flavoured oil all over your chicken, pushing any extra inside the cavity along with the parsley, garlic and squeezed lemon halves.
- You want the cavity so full that no salt will be able to get in.
- Get four long pieces of tinfoil and put them on top of each other to make a sheet around a metre square.
- Lay on a third of the salt, spreading until it is about 1/4 inch thick.
- Put your chicken on top, then pack the rest of the salt around it, making sure not to pierce the skin.
- Carefully fold up the sides of the tinfoil and scrunch it at the top.
- You can rip off any extra tinfoil.
- Place the chicken in the preheated oven and cook for two hours.
- Remove and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
- Take it to the table, rip open the tinfoil and crack the salt crust.
- It will fall apart easily and you will have a juicy chicken ready to serve.
- A nice side dish is some horseradish, mixed with creme fraiche or some homemade mayonnaise and basil.

SALTED FRIED CHICKEN
Coarse salt balances the intense sweetness of honey in the brine for this chicken, which is fried in a buttermilk batter. Flakes of Maldon salt, "finishing" salt from the marshes of Essex, England, add a delicate crunch to each bite and a bit of visual flash.

Steps:
- Make the brine: Bring water, coarse salt, and honey to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until salt and honey dissolve. Remove from heat, and let cool.

- Prepare to fry the chicken: Fill a medium heavy pot halfway with oil (enough to cover chicken). Heat until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 340 degrees.
- Meanwhile, make the coating: Stir together buttermilk, eggs, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Whisk together flour, coarse salt, and cayenne in another bowl. Working in batches, dip each chicken piece into buttermilk mixture, coating completely (do not shake off any excess). Dredge in flour mixture, patting onto chicken to coat completely. Transfer to a plate.
- Working in batches, carefully place chicken in oil, and fry until deep golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes for small pieces, 9 to 10 minutes for large pieces. (As chicken is cooking, adjust heat as needed to maintain an oil temperature of 325 degrees. Return oil to 340 degrees before starting each new batch.)
- Serve the chicken: Transfer chicken to paper-towel-lined plates, and let drain. Season with sea salt, and serve with honey for drizzling or dipping.

TEBA SHIO (SALTED CHICKEN WINGS)
While searching for recipes for the Japan region of our Culinary Quest event, I found this yummy appetizer. It is recipe from Nami, who is the author, cook, and photographer behind "Just One Cookbook". The key is to soak the chicken wings in sake for 15 minutes. You don't have to use expensive sake for this process, but you do need 1 and 1/2 cup sake to make sure all the wings are covered in sake. Sake helps remove the gamey taste from the chicken, and this is extremely important when the seasoning for the chicken is just salt! If you like spicy food, sprinkle Shichimi Togarashi.

Steps:
- Adjust an oven rack to the middle position. Line the bottom of a broiler pan with aluminum foil and place the broiler rack on top. (I use use our gas grill, so I skip this step and just pre-heat the grill, then I cook them over in-direct heat for about 10 minutes then I move them over direct heat for crisping up the skins.)
- Soak the chicken wings in the sake for 10-15 minutes (Flip at least once).
- Pat dry each wing with a paper towel and place the wing, skin side up, on the broiler rack.
- Sprinkle a GENEROUS amount of salt and pepper, and flip the wings to sprinkle the other side. Keep the skin side down.
- Turn the broiler on high and place the broiler pan in the oven about 6" (15 cm) away from the heat element. Cook for 15 minutes and flip to cook the other side (skin side) for 10 minutes. We like to grill them rather then using the broiler, so use what works best for you.
- Serve with shichimi togarashi and lemon wedges on the side.
