Next, add salt to the chicken, combine it with the previous mixture, and stir well so that it is completely coated. Then, cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for about 24 hours to enhance the flavor. When you're ready to cook it, preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit) and place the chicken on a large baking sheet. Let it bake for about 30 minutes, then turn on the grill to a low temperature. Finally, wait for it to brown. When the chicken is golden brown, you can remove it and serve it as a simple and delicious dish. You'll lick your fingers!
