In a small bowl, stir together the salt, turmeric, ginger, thyme, rosemary, oregano, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil until a paste forms. Rub the paste all over the chicken, including under the breast skin where possible. Let the chicken rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
