    | 1. Preheat the oven to 200 C or 400 degrees F. | 2. Put all the salt into a bowl with the fennel seeds, eggs, lemon juice (save the juiced lemon skins), peppercorns and a wineglass of water and mix together. | 3. Crush the thyme in a pestle and mortar and add a couple good glugs of olive oil. | 4. Rub this flavoured oil all over your chicken, pushing any extra inside the cavity along with the parsley, garlic and squeezed lemon halves. | 5. You want the cavity so full that no salt will be able to get in. | 6. Get four long pieces of tinfoil and put them on top of each other to make a sheet around a metre square. | 7. Lay on a third of the salt, spreading until it is about 1/4 inch thick. | 8. Put your chicken on top, then pack the rest of the salt around it, making sure not to pierce the skin. | 9. Carefully fold up the sides of the tinfoil and scrunch it at the top. | 10. You can rip off any extra tinfoil. | 11. Place the chicken in the preheated oven and cook for two hours. | 12. Remove and allow to rest for 15 minutes. | 13. Take it to the table, rip open the tinfoil and crack the salt crust. | 14. It will fall apart easily and you will have a juicy chicken ready to serve. | 15. A nice side dish is some horseradish, mixed with creme fraiche or some homemade mayonnaise and basil. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
