FRIED CHICKEN PO' BOYS

Steps:

• For the marinade: Put the chicken in a large bowl and add the buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika and black pepper and toss until the chicken is coated. Refrigerate for 4 hours or up to overnight.
• For the seasoned flour: Combine the flour, Cajun seasoning, pepper, baking powder, salt and confectioners' sugar in a large shallow dish or paper bag.
• Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and dredge each piece in the seasoned flour. Shake off any excess and transfer to a plate.
• Fill a large cast-iron skillet halfway with oil and fit the skillet with a deep-frying thermometer. Heat to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set a cooling rack on top.
• Add 5 or 6 pieces of chicken at a time to the oil and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and cook until the chicken is golden brown and juices run clear when pierced, 3 to 4 minutes more.
• Remove to the prepared cooling rack and let sit for 5 minutes. (See Cook's Note.)
• For the sandwiches: Meanwhile, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon, pickle brine and hot sauce in a small bowl. Spread the mixture on both sides of the baguettes. Lay the pickles and tomatoes on top of the mayonnaise on one side of each piece of bread. Add a few chicken pieces to each. Top with some Red Cabbage Slaw and the top pieces of bread. Cut each loaf in half, then cut into 8 to 10 portions. Serve with lots of napkins!
• Combine the oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, granulated sugar, mustard seeds and minced garlic in a bowl and whisk together. Add the coleslaw mix, cabbage and green onions and toss lightly. Taste the slaw, then add salt and pepper to your liking. Serve right away or chill up to overnight.

PAN-FRIED CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS (MARTHA STEWART)

Steps:

• Coat both sides of the chicken breast in the seasoned flour.
• Heat oil and ¼ tablespoon butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat until the butter has melted and starts to bubble. Cook the chicken, turning down the heat if needed, until both sides are golden-brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the chicken onto a serving plate and keep warm.
• Heat the remaining ½ tablespoon butter (no need to wash the pan). Add in the onion and garlic and cook until fragrant. Add in the mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms have reduced. Add in the chicken stock and cook until the liquid has reduced by half. Season with salt, black pepper and herbs (if using). Scoop the sauce over the chicken and serve.

CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat and then swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil. When the oil begins to smoke, add the egg and swirl the skillet to make a flat egg pancake that's only half set, about 10 seconds; scoop out onto a plate.
• Add the chicken to the skillet, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown and just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Add the remaining tablespoon oil, then add the shiitakes and cook, stirring constantly, until golden, about 3 minutes. Add the ginger, Shaoxing wine, soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir until the ginger is tender, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the rice, stirring to break up any clumps, and spread it out in the skillet. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Return the egg, chicken and any juices to the skillet and cook, stirring and breaking up the egg, to mix it in thoroughly, about 1 minute. Season with additional salt if needed. Drizzle with the sesame oil, sprinkle with scallions and serve.

CHICKEN PO'BOY

Steps:

• Dredge the chicken in bread crumbs. In a large skillet heat the butter. When the foaming subsides, brown the chicken on all sides for about 10 minutes or until cooked through. Season to taste with salt and pepper. While the chicken is cooking, slice the bread in half vertically and then in half again horizontally and pull out all of the soft bread crumbs to create four boat like shells. Spread each "bread boat" with tartar sauce, top with chicken nuggets, then with shredded lettuce and tomato slices. Slice each piece in half again.
• In a food processor or blender mince the scallion, pickle and parsley, then puree with mayonnaise and mustard and season with salt and cayenne pepper.
