Description

Sriracha barbecue chicken is smothered in Wisconsin gorgonzola fondue with celery and carrots. Wisconsin mozzarella ties the sandwich together between two perfectly crunchy slices of pan-fried sourdough bread.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cups Mayonnaise
  • 1 Tablespoon Spicy Mustard
  • 2  Carrots, Shredded
  • 2  Celery Ribs, Finely Chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
  • FOR THE SRIRACHA BARBECUE SAUCE:
  • ¼ cups Brown Sugar, Packed
  • ¾ cups Ketchup
  • 3 Tablespoons Sriracha Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • ¾ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey
  • ½ cups Light Beer
  • FOR THE CHICKEN:
  • 1-½ pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs
  • 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Divided
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • FOR THE FONDUE:
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 clove Garlic, Minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Dry Vermouth
  • ¾ cups Half-and-half
  • 6 ounces, weight Gorgonzola Cheese, Crumbled
  • FOR ASSEMBLY:
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 4 slices Bakery Sourdough Bread
  • 4 ounces, fluid Mozzarella Cheese

Preparation

Combine mayonnaise and mustard; set aside. Toss carrots and celery with lemon juice in small bowl; set aside.

For the Sriracha barbecue sauce:
Combine brown sugar, ketchup, Sriracha, soy sauce, salt, garlic powder and honey in saucepan; bring to a boil. Add beer, mix well and lower to simmer for approximately 15 minutes, or until sauce thickens.

For the chicken:
Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil; season liberally with salt and pepper. In oven-safe skillet, heat remaining tablespoon olive oil and brown chicken on both sides, approximately
5 minutes. Pour Sriracha barbecue sauce into skillet; bake until internal temperature of chicken reaches 160°F, approximately 15 minutes.

Remove chicken from oven, transfer to plate and cool. Shred chicken with your hands or 2 forks; transfer to baking dish; arrange in single layer. Preheat broiler to 500°F. Drizzle sauce from skillet over chicken and return to oven until caramelized and crusty, approximately 4 minutes.

For the fondue:
Melt butter in saucepan over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté 1 minute; do not allow garlic to brown too much. Stir in flour and cook, about 1 minute. Stir in vermouth. Add half-and-half, continuing to stir until sauce begins to thicken. Bring sauce to boil; add salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat and add gorgonzola cheese a little at a time, stirring until completely melted.

For assembly:
Melt butter in nonstick oven-safe skillet over medium-low heat. Spread mayonnaise-mustard mixture evenly over one side of each bread slice. Place slices, mayonnaise-side-up, in skillet. When bread is slightly golden, flip and grill second side until medium brown and crusty. Remove skillet from heat and place 1/4 of mozzarella on each mayonnaise-coated side of slices. Broil for 1 minute.

Remove from oven; spread half the chicken over 1 of the slices. Drizzle with generous amount of gorgonzola fondue. Add a heaping pile of the carrot-celery mixture and top with bread slice, cheese-side-down. Repeat construction with second sandwich. Halve sandwiches for serving.
