I tried this recipe and the chicken was a little dry. I think I might have overcooked it. But the flavor was still good.

I've tried many roasted chicken recipes, but this one is by far the best. The salt crust creates a perfectly crispy skin and locks in all the juices. The chicken was so tender and flavorful, it was a hit with the whole family.
