HOT BUFFALO CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, paprika and chili powder. Drizzle breast with a little extra virgin olive oil to coat. Pan grill chicken breasts 5 minutes on each side.
• Heat a metal or oven safe glass bowl over low heat and melt butter in the bowl. Add hot sauce to the butter and combine. When the chicken breasts are done, remove from pan and add to the bowl and coat evenly with hot sauce mixture.
• Place chicken breasts on bun bottoms and top with crisp lettuce. Combine sour cream, scallions and blue cheese and slather bun tops with blue cheese sour cream. Affix bun tops on sandwiches and serve with remaining sauce for dipping your veggies. Arrange Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches on dinner plates with red onion, celery and carrot sticks.

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.

GRILLED CHICKEN PITAS

Steps:

• Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
• Brush chicken breasts with lime juice, sprinkle with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper.
• Rub into surface and let sit 5 minutes.
• Place chicken on grill over medium coals.
• Grill 8 to 10 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink, turning once halfway through cooking time.
• While chicken is grilling, mix together mayonnaise and dried herbs.
• Remove chicken breasts from grill and thinly slice.
• Slit pitas and spread mayonnaise mixture on the inside.
• Fill each half with equal amounts of lettuce, tomato and sliced chicken.

BUFFALO CHICKEN GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Remove the skin and bones from the chicken and shred into a large bowl. Toss together with the buffalo sauce and scallions.
• To assemble the sandwiches, lay out 4 bread slices in a single layer. Brush the bread with 3 tablespoons of the softened butter, then turn the bread over. Top each bread slice with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, buffalo chicken, sliced celery, carrots, and a tablespoon of blue cheese. Top each with a slice of bread and brush with remaining butter.
• Heat a skillet or griddle over moderate heat. Working in batches, cook sandwiches until bread is golden and crisp and cheese has melted, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and cook the remaining sandwiches. Cut each in half and serve with blue cheese dressing for dipping.
