Preparation

  1. Step 1

    If using a whole bird, set wings aside for another use. Trim all excess fat from remaining chicken pieces. Toss poultry with salt. In a large, dark pot with a tightly fitting dark lid, combine poultry with remaining ingredients and bake in solar oven until poultry is cooked through, 1 ½ to 2 ½ hours, checking after 1 hour and then every 20 minutes or so.

Tip
  • To make this in a conventional oven, bake at 250 degrees.
