Daily rotisserie chicken brined and air-dried before turning on the spit, the Selland Hospitality Group signature plate across all three Sacramento Selland's locations.
Where to eat it: 2 restaurants across 1 city.
The Selland family has been a Sacramento institution since 1991 when Randall Selland and Nancy Zimmer opened The Kitchen, which later moved to 915 Broadway in Land Park and earned the city's first Michelin star in 2019. The Selland Family Hospitality Group added Ella Dining Room downtown in 2007, OBO' Italian Table and Bar in East Sacramento in 2016, and the Selland's Market-Cafe counters across Land Park, East Sacramento and El Dorado Hills. The daily rotisserie chicken at all three Selland's counters is the signature plate, brined overnight and turned slowly until the skin crackles. The chicken comes with seasonal market sides from the Capay Valley and Sacramento River Delta farms.
Tip from the editors. The overnight brine and the uncovered dry in the fridge are non-negotiable. They are why the Selland's chicken skin crackles where a regular roast chicken stays rubbery.
