Step 2
Place flour in a shallow bowl. Season with salt. Place a large greased wire rack over a large baking tray. Transfer chicken, draining excess marinade, to rack. Working with 1 piece at a time, coat chicken in flour, shaking off excess. Dip back in marinade to coat, allowing excess to drain, then toss in flour again to coat. Return to rack. Stand chicken for 15 minutes.
