8. Homemade Waxed Chicken Recipe: Clean 2 large whole chicken legs thoroughly, trim off any surplus fat, but leave the skins on. Pat dry thoroughly with kitchen paper towels. Rub all over with 2 tbsp fine salt including beneath the skin. Place on a rack over a plate and refrigerate for 24 hours. Transfer chicken to a deep casserole, pour in cooking oil to cover completely. Cover casserole with aluminium foil. Bake in a preheated 100 deg C oven for 1 hour. Remove from oven and cool completely without removing foil. When cold transfer chicken and oil to an airtight container and cover. Make sure chicken is fully immersed in oil. Keep chilled for up to 2 days till ready to use. Otherwise, keep in the freezer for up to 1 month. When ready to use, remove chicken from oil, and slice.
