BUFFALO CHICKEN SLIDERS WITH CELERY-BLUE CHEESE SLAW

Steps:

• To a medium-sized, straight-sided pan, add the butter and melt over medium heat. Once melted, add the buffalo sauce, garlic powder and onion powder and whisk to incorporate. Bring the mixture up to a simmer and stir in the shredded chicken. Turn the heat down to low and let simmer until the chicken is heated through and evenly coated in the sauce, about 5 minutes.
• To assemble: Lay the Hawaiian slider rolls on a clean work surface, cut side-up. Using tongs, transfer the buffalo chicken to the bottom half of the rolls. Top each with celery slaw. Spoon the remaining buffalo sauce on the cut-side of the top buns. Place the top half on and skewer each slider.
• Add all of the ingredients to a medium sized bowl and toss to combine. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

CELERY HERB STUFFING AND SAVORY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Stir together onion, celery, bread, pepper, parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, and celery salt in a large bowl; pour melted butter over bread mixture and stir to combine.
• Spoon stuffing into the cavities of chicken; place chicken into a roasting pan. Sprinkle chicken with savory; cover with a lid or foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove cover; increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Roast until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 15 minutes.

CHICKEN WINGS WITH RED HOT HONEY GLAZE AND BLUE CHEESE-CELERY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• For the wings:
• Heat grill to medium-high.
• Combine the hot sauce, honey and butter in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture comes together, about 5 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Pour half of the sauce in a bowl and keep the remaining sauce in the pan, warm over low heat.
• Season the wings on both sides with the salt and pepper. Brush the wings with the reserved sauce in the bowl and place on the grill. Grill on each side for 5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove wings from the grill and toss with the warm hot sauce. Transfer to a platter and serve with the blue cheese sauce on the side for dipping.
• For the blue cheese-celery dipping sauce:
• Whisk together all ingredients in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP WITH CELERY, PARSLEY AND LEMON

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or pot, combine the broth, chicken, celery and rice. Season lightly with salt. (Some broths have more salt than others, so start easy.) Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the rice starts to break down and lose its shape, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, finely chop together the parsley leaves, lemon zest and up to 1/2 cup celery leaves. Transfer to a small bowl, grate the garlic clove into the bowl, season with salt and stir to combine.
• Using tongs, remove the chicken from the pot and transfer to a medium bowl. Using two forks, shred the chicken into pieces, then stir it back into the soup. Remove from heat, stir in the butter (if using), and season to taste with salt. Stir in the lemon juice a little at a time until the soup is bright but still tastes like chicken. (You may not use the full 1/2 cup juice.)
• Divide the soup among bowls and top with the parsley-lemon mixture. (The soup, minus the lemon juice and parsley mixture, can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; the rice will absorb liquid as it sits, so add more chicken broth when reheating. Add the lemon juice and fresh herb garnish just before serving.)

CRISPY, SMOKED CHICKEN WINGS AND LEGS, CILANTRO, LIME AND SRIRACHA AND A CELERY AND RADISH SALAD

Steps:

• Place a deep hotel pan or roasting pan over medium-high heat. Place 2 handfuls of soaked Applewood chips into the bottom of the pan and top with a perforated hotel pan or set a cooling rack over the roasting pan. Allow the wood chips to smoke.
• For the marinade: Combine the kosher salt, sugar, paprika, juice of 2 limes and drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil into a bowl. Add the chicken wings and legs and toss to combine.
• Place the legs and wings into the perforated hotel pan or cooling rack set over the smoking chips and cover the pan with foil to smoke about 3 to 5 minutes. This will impart flavor, not cook the chicken.
• Meanwhile, place a cast iron pan over medium heat and add 4 cups duck fat and using a deep fry thermometer to monitor the temperature, allow the fat to heat to about 320 degrees F.
• For the wing sauce: Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the sriracha, apple cider vinegar, and honey (or to taste, depending on preference of sweetness versus spicy and vice versa) and place over medium heat to combine. Once the sauce is heated, taste and season with salt.
• When the fat is heated and the wings and legs have smoked, add the legs to the heated duck fat and cook for about 4 minutes, being careful of any of the fat spattering. Once they crisp and brown, flip the legs and add the wings. Be careful of splatter when adding the wings and cook until brown and crisp, about 2 minutes. Flip the wings to finish cooking, about 2 more minutes or until caramelized and crispy on all sides. If desired, use a meat thermometer and make sure the temperature reaches 160 degrees F.
• When ready, remove the legs and wings and place into the heated hot sauce and turn to coat. Add 1/4 cup unsalted butter and place into a bowl and stir to coat. Taste the sauce and season with salt and juice of 1 lime and a touch of honey, if needed or desired. Toss to coat evenly and set aside.
• Salad: To a medium bowl add the radishes, celery, salt, cilantro, drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, and blue cheese crumbles and toss to combine.
• For each serving, plate 2 wings and 2 legs and top with some of the celery-radish salad. Serve any remaining hot sauce on the side.

BUFFALO CHICKEN STUFFED BAKED POTATO WITH LIME SOUR CREAM AND QUICK PICKLED CELERY

Steps:

• To meal prep the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the potatoes on a baking sheet and roast until a paring knife inserted into the center goes in easily without any resistance, about 1 hour. If the potato holds onto the knife, or you lift the potato up while removing the knife, continue to roast in 10-minute increments until cooked through. Let cool, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The potatoes will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• To meal prep the bacon: Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• Lay the bacon slices on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown and crisp but still bendable when lifted, 16 to 18 minutes. When meal prepping bacon, it's important to remove the bacon at this point so you can reheat it without overcooking it. Let cool slightly. Pour off the bacon fat and reserve for another use such as scrambling eggs, sautéing breadcrumbs or making fried rice. The bacon fat will hold in the refrigerator for up to a month. Cool the bacon completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

• To meal prep the Buffalo chicken: Melt the butter in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add the hot sauce, whisk the mixture together and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken and stir to evenly coat and warm the chicken through, 3 to 4 more minutes. Remove from the heat and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
• To serve the stuffed baked potato: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut a slit down the center of as many potatoes as you're serving (keep the remaining refrigerated). Gently press the sides to open up the potatoes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and use a fork to break up the potatoes. Place each potato on a baking sheet and top each with 1 tablespoon of the Cheddar. Bake until the cheese is almost melted and the edges of the potato skins are beginning to crisp, about 15 minutes. Add 1/2 slice of bacon per potato to the baking sheet and continue to bake until the bacon is crisped and warmed through, the cheese is melted and the potatoes are heated through, another 5 minutes. When cool enough to handle, crumble the bacon.
• Meanwhile, reheat 1/4 cup of the Buffalo chicken mixture per potato in the microwave or in a sauté pan over medium-low heat.
• Top the melted cheese on each potato with some of the chicken mixture, a dollop of the lime sour cream, a sprinkle of crumbled bacon and some quick pickled celery. Serve immediately.
