• Be careful not to remove the skin of the chicken as it will help retain the moisture that will be created during cooking.
• Try to leave the garlic unpeeled, squeezing it lightly with your hand: in this way you will get a more delicate flavor. Alternatively, cutting it into large enough pieces will give a stronger and more intense flavor to your Chicken in salt.
