JICAMA AND WATERMELON SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk together juices, honey, pepper and salt in a large bowl. Add the jicama, watermelon and mint and toss to coat.

BUFFALO-STYLE GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In heavy-duty resealable food-storage plastic bag, stir pepper sauce, oil, garlic powder and salt. Add chicken, turning to coat with marinade; seal bag. Refrigerate at least 2 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Carefully brush grill rack with canola oil.
• Remove chicken from bag. Place chicken on grill over medium-high heat. Cover grill; cook 10 to 12 minutes, turning after 5 minutes, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F).
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix dressing, blue cheese and sour cream. Place grilled chicken on platter; serve with celery and dressing mixture.

HOISIN SAUCE NOODLES WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat and toast until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Cook the chicken. In a medium skillet, bring the chicken stock to a simmer over medium-high heat. Submerge the chicken breasts in the stock, then reduce the heat to low and poach until the meat is completely cooked through and the internal temperature in the thickest part of the chicken breast registers 165 degrees F on a meat thermometer, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Use a sharp knife to cut the meat into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Set aside. Let the chicken stock cool and reserve for another use.
• Make the pasta. In a medium pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Line a sheet pan with a clean kitchen towel and set aside. Season the water with salt until it tastes like sea water. Plunge the pasta in the water and cook until cooked but still chewy ("al dente"), 4 to 6 minutes. Place a colander in the sink. Reserve a little pasta water, then drain the pasta thoroughly. Shake the colander a few times to remove excess water. Spread the pasta on the towel so it cools more quickly. Gently use a second towel to cover and pat the pasta dry. (Removing the excess moisture assures that the sauce will have a full flavor effect on the noodles.)
• Make the sauce. In a large bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, vinegar and hot sauce. Adjust the seasonings. Stir in half of the scallions. Set aside.
• Add the pasta to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Add some of the reserved water if necessary. Transfer the pasta and sauce to a large serving bowl. Set aside.
• Arrange the chicken on top of the pasta. Top the pasta with the reserved sesame seeds and remaining scallions.

BUFFALO CHICKEN SKILLET

Steps:

• Sprinkle salt and black pepper over chicken breast tenderloins.
• Whisk eggs in a shallow bowl until smooth. Place panko in a separate shallow bowl.
• Dip both sides of each chicken breast in the eggs and then in the panko.
• Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook 1/3 of the breaded tenderloins until crusts are golden and centers are no longer pink, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a large plate. Repeat with remaining oil and breaded tenderloins in 2 batches.
• Return all chicken to the skillet. Pour wing sauce over chicken. Sprinkle cheese on top. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

GRILLED BUFFALO CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat barbecue to medium. Peel long ribbons from carrot into a large bowl, turning as you go. Add lettuce leaves and celery. Whisk milk with mayo, dill, vinegar, and garlic in a small bowl. Stir hot sauce with butter and honey in a large bowl. Set both aside.
• Oil grill, then barbecue chicken, covered, until springy when pressed, six to eight minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into 1/2 - inch thick strips. Add to hot-sauce mixture and turn to coat. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss until coated. Top with chicken and cheese.
• I didn't happen to have romaine, so I used iceberg. Also, no blue cheese, so feta was substituted. We like things hot, so I didn't put the butter or honey in the hot sauce. I used Frank's Red Hot, right out of the bottle.

Brush with additional buffalo wing sauce while cooking, if desired. Top each chicken piece with 2 quarters cheese during last minute of cooking.
• Place buns, cut-side down, onto grill. Cook 1-2 minutes or until toasted.
• Spread dressing onto cut-sides of toasted buns. Place celery sticks and chicken onto bottom half of buns; cover with top half of buns.
