    Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F. Use poultry shears to cut the chicken into pieces, cutting both sides of the backbone (which you can save for stocks) first. Then cut down the breast bone and separate the breast from the legs. Cut and separate drumsticks from thighs, and breasts from wings. Season with salt all over and set aside.
