• 3 cups salt

Instructions for Herbed Roast Chicken:

• 2 Tbsp Herb Rub
• 1 average-size chicken, about 3-1/2 pounds

You will need a small baking pot with a tight-fitting lid that the chicken will fit in. Oil the baking pot. Rinse & dry chicken, then rub it all over inside and outside with herb rub. Put the chicken in the pot, and bake - uncovered - at 400 degrees for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately cover with lid. Let stand for 20-30 minutes. This is a part of the cooking process; do not take off the cover until serving. For a single recipe of Herb Rub, use 2 tsp salt, 2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp lemon pepper
