Sunday Dinner – Amagansett Sea Salt Roasted Chicken
We love Sunday dinner! There is something special about Sunday dinner that always brings around food, family, friends and fun. For tonight’s dinner we used a special salt from one of our favorite local food businesses – Amagansett Sea Salt. Their salts are featured in some of the top restaurants such as Eleven Madison Park and Gramercy Tavern and for good reason! Their salt brings an amazing pop of flavor that is unique and very delicious. For this recipe we used their Mirepoix salt which is hand cultivated sea salt infused and blended with fresh onions, carrots and celery, it gives the chicken a complex flavor without adding all the individual ingredients of onions, carrots and celery. We chose to pair it with a fun sparkling rose, the Carnaval Rose from Sparkling Point Vineyards on the North Fork.
Enjoy your Sunday Dinner!
Keep Life Delicious!
