Yes, I read some cooking book a few years back that had chapters on different techniques and the biggest takeaway I got was you should salt a little at each stage.

Using enough salt (and other seasonings) on foods, especially meat, and giving it sufficient time to soak in is a huge game changer. Simply putting some salt & pepper on your chicken breast and letting it sit in your fridge for 2-24hrs ahead of cooking will make a MASSIVE difference in how it tastes.

Edit: This applies moreso for even larger cuts of meat that require more salt and more time to fully absorb.
