Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F, or preheat a wood-fired oven.
- Cover the firewood with water and soak for 15 minutes. Remove and add to a large roasting pan.
- Sprinkle the lamb with salt and pepper. Add enough kosher salt to a large bowl to cover both legs of lamb during roasting. Add the chile flakes, oregano, rosemary, thyme and egg whites. Mix until the mixture looks like wet sand.
- Cover the logs with a layer of herb salt. Place the legs side by side on top of the salt, then cover the lamb completely with more herb salt.
- Roast until the lamb reaches an internal temperature of 120 degrees F, about 1 hour.
- Let rest for 15 to 20 minutes before removing the "salt cap." Slice and serve.
