Salted chicken in tomato marinade

2 servings

30 minutes

Chicken in salt with tomato marinade is an original dish that combines the tenderness of cornish hen and the brightness of spicy seasonings. The tradition of baking in salt comes from ancient kitchens where this method preserved the juiciness of meat without excess fats. Here, tomato juice, spicy sriracha, and curry create a rich marinade that penetrates the chicken fibers, adding zest. Black pepper adds depth of flavor, while baking in salt makes the texture incredibly soft by absorbing excess moisture. The dish is perfect for a family dinner or festive table where you want to impress guests with an original presentation. It can be served with a light salad of fresh vegetables to highlight the harmony of flavors.
