Provided by Hidden Valley

Categories     Lunch

Time 8h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup celery
½ cup red onion
½ cup Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Dressing
1 head lettuce
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 carrots
2 chicken
2 tablespoons hot sauce
4 tortillas
¼ cup hot sauce
salt
black pepper

Steps:

  • Marinate the chicken. In a large plastic bag place chicken, Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Dressing and hot sauce. Rest on the counter up to two hours or refrigerate overnight. If refrigerating, be sure to rest chicken at room temperature for up to two hours before grilling.
  • Grill the chicken. Heat a grill pan to medium high. Remove chicken from marinade, removing excess marinade and discarding. Drizzle olive oil over both chicken breasts and season both sides with salt and pepper. Place smooth side down on the grill. Cook until chicken releases easily and grill marks show, about 5 minutes, then flip and cook 3-5 minutes more. Remove to a plate and rest while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
  • Grill the carrots. Drizzle olive oil over carrot spears and season with salt and pepper. Place spears on medium-high grill and cook until limber and charred on all sides, about 10 minutes total. Remove to a plate.
  • Make salad. In a large bowl add red onion, celery, lettuce, Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Dressing and hot sauce. Chop cooled chicken and add to the bowl. Chop grilled carrots and add as well. Toss to combine.
  • Make wrap. Place wrap on a flat surface and scoop 1 quarter of the salad into the center making sure to spread it across the center without touching the edges. Fold both ends in over the salad, then tuck the long end over and begin to roll tightly until done. Secure with a toothpick or wrap with parchment paper and aluminum foil. Refrigerate and serve chilled or at room temperature.

SUNNY'S SPICY CHICKEN SANDWICH REMAKE



Sunny's Spicy Chicken Sandwich Remake image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h5m

Yield 2 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup hot sauce
2 tablespoons Hungarian hot paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Peanut oil, for frying
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 brioche hamburger buns
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon chipotle in adobo sauce
6 dill pickle slices

Steps:

  • For the marinade/batter: Use kitchen scissors to cut 6 to 7 small horizontal slivers, about 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep, into each chicken breast, to give them potential for crispies when fried. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce, paprika, a nice pinch of salt and plenty of grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Add to a resealable bag or large bowl along with the chicken and soak for 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator. Bring the chicken to room temperature before frying.
  • Heat several inches of oil in a pot or deep-fryer to 375 degrees F.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry (reserving the marinade), then set aside. Whisk together the flour, cornstarch and baking powder in a large bowl. Slowly add the marinade liquid while whisking to form a pancake batter consistency. (If you go too far, just add more flour or about 2 tablespoons of water, depending on the texture.) Dust the chicken with some flour, then dunk in the batter to coat. Dust the chicken again with flour, then shake gently and slowly drop into the hot oil. Fry in batches until cooked through and golden on the outside, about 8 minutes. Remove and season with a pinch of salt and rest briefly on a few scrunched paper towels on a plate.
  • For the sandwich: Butter both sides of each bun. Toast lightly in a grill pan or in the oven until lightly golden brown and warm, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir together the mayonnaise and chipotle in a small bowl. Smear on the cut sides of the bun bottoms, then add the chicken, pickles and the bun tops. Wrap in aluminum foil pouches and let rest for less than 1 minute, then serve.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pints cherry tomatoes
6 Thai bird chiles
2 small red onions, peeled and quartered
2 orange bell peppers, halved
2 red bell peppers, halved
2 red jalapeno peppers, halved
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
4 cloves garlic, smashed
Kosher salt
4 bone-in, skinless chicken legs
4 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs
2 bone-in, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Preheat half of a grill to 400 degrees F. Using an upside-down wire cooling rack or a grill basket over the direct-heat side of the grill, add the tomatoes, Thai bird chiles, onions, bell peppers and jalapeno peppers. Roast, tossing and flipping until everything is charred, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Boil vegetables: Add the charred vegetables to a medium pot along with the vinegar, sugar, garlic, a pinch of salt and enough water to just cover the vegetables. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced by half, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool, then blend until smooth. Pass the sauce through a fine-mesh strainer.
  • For the chicken: Add the chicken, 1/2 cup sauce and vegetable oil to a large resealable bag. Mix and seal, then marinate for 1 to 2 hours at room temperature.
  • Preheat half of a grill to 400 degrees F.
  • Remove chicken from bag, discard marinade and pat chicken dry. Place chicken, smooth-side down, over direct heat to char, then flip and finish cooking over indirect heat for a total of 10 to 15 minutes depending on piece and heat. Brush the chicken with sauce the last few minutes of grilling. Serve with more sauce on the side.
