In a heavy pot/cast iron dish add salt, lemongrass and lime leaves, finally Place the chicken in the pot on top of the lemongrass and lime leaves so that the chicken is not exposed to too much salt to avoid getting salty.
Close the lid, turn on the stove and start steaming the chicken for about 20-30 minutes. When steaming, keep the heat on high for the first 5 minutes for the pot to heat up, then let the heat gradually decrease and steam for about 20-30 minutes.

Steamed chicken with lemongrass salt absolutely do not add water to steam. Do not use finely ground salt or iodized salt to steam chicken because this makes it easier for the salt to penetrate the meat, making the meat salty and tasteless.
