BUFFALO CHICKEN SUBS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper; sprinkle with the brown sugar, paprika and cayenne. Warm the vegetable oil in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Cook half of the chicken in the skillet until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side; transfer to a plate. Cook the rest, then return all the chicken to the skillet. Add the wing sauce and bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until the chicken registers 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 10 minutes. Let cool, then shred and return to the skillet. Add more wing sauce if desired, then broil until crisp and caramelized, about 4 minutes.
• Combine the carrots, celery and tomatoes in a bowl and season with salt and black pepper.
• Make the ranch dressing: Combine the mayonnaise, buttermilk, garlic, dill, honey, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper in a bowl.
• Split open the bread lengthwise. Put the blue cheese crumbles on the bottom, then add the chicken and veggies. Cut into small sandwiches and serve with the ranch dressing on the side.

GRILLED ARTICHOKE SUB

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lop off stem end of the head of garlic. Pour the olive oil over the exposed cloves, sprinkle with salt and pepper and wrap loosely in foil. Bake until soft and slightly caramelized, about 20 minutes. Let cool, squeeze out the garlic cloves and set aside. Once cool, using your knife, chop into a paste.
• Mix together the roasted garlic, ricotta, basil, romano and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Gently add the artichokes to the grill pan and grill until properly charred, 4 to 5 minutes a side, then set aside.
• Meanwhile, lightly toast the baguette, about 5 minutes.
• For the sandwich build: Split the toasted baguette in half and schmear each half with the ricotta spread. Then pile on the grilled artichokes. Next, add the toasted pine nuts and finally the red leaf lettuce. Cut to serve your family and friends and enjoy with a side of Tony Bennett perhaps.
