GREEN GODDESS ROASTED CHICKEN
Green Goddess dressing - a creamy, piquant blend of herbs, garlic and anchovies - is good to eat on salad. And it's wonderful as a dipping sauce for vegetables. But its best use may be as a marinade for roast chicken. The mild chicken absorbs all the zippy flavors of the dressing, to emerge from the oven fragrant and golden, flecked with green. To intensify the herbal flavor, some of the green goddess mixture is set aside to use as a sauce. You could even pour a little on a salad or some vegetables on the side, and enjoy the best of all the Green Goddess variations in one savory bite.

Steps:
- In a blender, purée buttermilk, basil, chives, garlic, anchovies (if using), scallion, lime zest and juice, salt and pepper until smooth.
- Put chicken halves in a bowl or large heavy-duty resealable plastic bag and cover with three-quarters of the Green Goddess marinade. (Save the rest to serve as a sauce.) Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
- Heat oven to 500 degrees. Remove chicken from the marinade, shaking off as much liquid as possible, and lay the halves on a rimmed baking sheet. (Discard the used marinade.) Pat chicken tops dry with paper towels and drizzle with oil. Roast until cooked through, about 30 to 45 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving, with some of the reserved sauce if you like.

GREEN GODDESS CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH
Steps:
- For the dressing: Puree the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, parsley, tarragon, garlic salt and scallions in a blender until very smooth. Set aside.
- For the sandwich: Add the dressing to a medium bowl with the chicken, celery and red onion. Mix until well combined. At this point you can make sandwiches or refrigerate until you are ready to serve. If you are serving sandwiches right away, place a scoop of chicken salad on top of a piece of bread. Top with the tomato slices and season with salt and pepper. Top with the cucumber slices, a mound of sprouts, the bacon and a second slice of bread. Repeat to make 3 more sandwiches. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Combine buttermilk, mayonnaise, anchovies, garlic, herbs, scallions, mustard, lemon zest and juice, and oil in a blender. Purée until smooth; season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pat chicken dry and season generously with salt. Place in a resealable bag and add 2 cups dressing; seal and massage to evenly coat chicken in dressing. Refrigerate at least 4 hours and up to 1 day. Cover and refrigerate remaining dressing until ready to use.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Remove chicken from refrigerator and let stand 30 minutes at room temperature. Wipe excess dressing from chicken and lightly pat dry; place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment. Drizzle with oil and season lightly with salt. Roast, breast-side up, until skin is dark golden and a thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 160°, 40 to 50 minutes (depending on size). Let stand 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain and cool. Toss lettuce, pea shoots, snap peas, radishes, and bacon with one-third of reserved dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Carve chicken and serve alongside salad, with remaining dressing.

Steps:
- Place the chicken legs in a large resealable plastic bag. Combine the Green Goddess dressing as well as the parsley and paprika. Pour over the chicken legs. Refrigerate for 2 to 8 hours.
- When ready to cook, set up your grill for indirect medium high 350 degree heat, and preheat, for 10 to 15 minutes. Or you can smoke them, I like to use maple wood for poultry or mesquite is good too.
- Drain the chicken legs. Arrange the legs directly on the grill grate and grill indirectly, turning once, for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the legs are golden brown and cooked through. Then grill over direct heat for 5 minutes to add a little "char" flavor, moving them around cause you don't want them to burn. Serve at once. (Can also be served cold, but the skin will lose its crispiness.).
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season tomatoes and avocado.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a grill pan over medium heat.
- To make the green goddess sauce, you can use any type of fresh herbs that you like. Some good options include basil, chives, cilantro, parsley, and tarragon.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- To make the chicken extra crispy, double-coat it in the buttermilk mixture and flour.
- Be careful not to overcook the chicken, or it will become dry and tough.
Conclusion:
This grilled chicken BLT with green goddess sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make summer meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, the bacon is crispy, the tomatoes and avocado are fresh and ripe, and the green goddess sauce is tangy and herbaceous. This sandwich is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
