BUFFALO CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a shallow bowl. Cover with the buttermilk, turning to coat. Combine the ranch dressing and blue cheese in a small bowl and refrigerate. On a large plate, stir together the flour and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Pour the Buffalo sauce into a shallow bowl. Line a large plate with a few layers of paper towels.
• Add enough vegetable oil to a large skillet to come halfway up the sides. Heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350˚ F. Working in batches, remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off, then coat in the flour mixture and shake off any excess. Carefully add the chicken to the hot oil and fry until dark golden brown and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to the paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• As soon as the chicken is cool enough to handle, dip in the Buffalo sauce, coating it entirely. Place each chicken cutlet on a bun bottom and top with coleslaw and cucumber. Spread the bun tops with the blue cheese mixture and close the sandwiches. Serve with potato chips.

BUFFALO CHICKEN GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Combine wing sauce, granulated garlic, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne in a large saucepan. Stir over medium heat until warm, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Toss in cooked shredded chicken, coating all the chicken pieces with the seasoning mixture, and heat through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in blue cheese crumbles.
• Assemble the sandwiches by starting with a slice of Texas toast. Add one slice of Monterey Jack cheese, top with chicken mixture, add a second slice of cheese, then place another slice of toast on top, buttered-side up. Repeat for 4 sandwiches.
• Place a completed sandwich in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, until the toast is browned and the cheese is softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn the toast. Turn down the heat if the sandwich is browning too fast. Using a spatula, carefully turn the sandwich and cook until the sandwich is brown on the other side, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Serve with additional wing sauce, if desired, ranch dressing, carrot strips, and celery sticks.

• 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.
