Cooking method

Cooking time: 12 h
Soak the chicken in a solution of 60 g of salt per 1 liter of water. The solution needs so much to completely cover the chicken. Leave to soak for at least 6 hours.

We take it out of the solution, dry it completely. Season with seasoning and lemon juice. We melt the butter and spread it on the chicken. We put the oven on a preheat of 80 degrees and put the chicken for 2.5 - 3 hours. If you have a thermometer, you need to control the temperature of the deepest meat, in my case it is the shin. The optimal temperature should be 65-75 degrees.

Remove from the oven and let stand for at least 40 minutes so that the juices inside are distributed. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. At this time, we spread the chicken with butter again.

Put in the oven and make a ruddy crust for 10 minutes will be enough.
Please note that the chicken is sufficiently salted, there is no need to salt it anymore!

Bon appetit!
