Baked chicken with salt is a traditional dish in China. Usually, the whole chicken is salted with salt and other seasonings, and then steamed in a steamer. Cooking for too long may cause the chicken to become overcooked or too dry, so it is necessary to control the cooking time.

In general, the cooking time of salted chicken is usually 40 minutes to 1 hour. This time is enough to cook the chicken, and because of the salt, it can keep the tender and smooth taste of the chicken. If the cooking time is too long, the chicken may become dry and hard due to overcooking. Therefore, it is suggested that when cooking brine chicken, we should master the appropriate cooking time according to the size and personal taste of the chicken.

If you want to make chicken more tender and juicy, you can choose fresh chicken breast or chicken leg to make salted chicken. The cooking time of chicken breast and chicken leg meat is generally shorter, about 30 minutes.

Generally speaking, cooking salted chicken should be kept for a proper time to keep the taste and smoothness of chicken. If the cooking time is too long, the chicken may harden. It is suggested to control the cooking time according to the recipe guidance or personal taste.
