Salt-baked chicken is a traditional dish of the Han nationality that has long been famous in Guangdong. It is also one of the signature dishes of the local Hakka in Guangdong. It belongs to the Cantonese cuisine-Hakka cuisine. I have always liked salt-baked chicken. Since I can’t make it myself, sea salt is not easy to buy. I often go to the braised vegetable stalls outside to buy it. This time, I bought some sea salt from Taobao and finally made my favorite salt-baked chicken after referring to various methods.
