FAIL. Where did I for wrong??

CPARKTX

I cooked a salt encrusted chicken recipe from "Seven Fires". It turned out moist, tender...and so incredibly salty that it was totally inedible. Even deep in the breast, an inch or more from the skin, was gag-inducing salty.

I've read about this same salt encrusted method for fish and beef and believe I followed the recipe faithfully.

Any ideas where I went wrong?

Not sure about the chicken, cooked a prime rib salt encrusted and was good but not salty at all.

Can't tell exactly what you did from the pics, but it looks like the salt did not completely crust.  Here's a step by step of one I did, and actually needed to salt the meat after carving.
