BON TON STYLE FRIED CHICKEN
From epicurious.com: Bilko's spice mix is a closely guarded secret, but Donna King, the restaurants cook, shared with us its fundamental ingredients as well as the basic technique - a long marination, at least 24 hours. This results in some of the juiciest chicken we've ever eaten. The chicken must also rest five or ten minutes after being dredged in the seasoned flour to, as King told us, "get doughy." The Bon Ton recipe calls for Ac'cent (monosodium glutamate) in both the marinade and the dredging mixture. We tested it with and without, and the chicken mainly tasted saltier with the Ac'cent, which some people preferred. The formula for this amazing dish dates back to the 1950s and a restaurant in Henderson known as The Colonel's Lair. It was a favorite haunt of local high school students and it was run by a man named Bill Koch, whom the kids called Bilko because that's the way he pronounced it. All who remember The Colonel's Lair agree that Bilko made the best fried chicken anywhere. In the state where Harland Sanders began a fried-chicken empire based on the secret recipe he used in the kitchen of his service station/café, such judgments are not made lightly. Bilko is gone, but Bon Ton proprietor George Markham and his former cook, Donna King, managed to get the recipe for the amazing chicken; and now it is served every day

CHINESE CHICKEN SALAD
Ellen Chao from Manhattan Beach, CA, writes: "I make this salad when I entertain guests. It looks impressive and tastes delicious. My kids love it, too - especially with the fried wonton skins." When chicken Caesar loses appeal, this salad, with its soy dressing and fried wontons, is a substitute worth the betrayal.

Steps:
- Make fried wontons:
- Cut wonton wrappers into 1/2-inch-wide strips and separate on paper towels.
- Heat 3/4 inch oil in a wide 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until it registers 350°F on thermometer. Fry strips, 5 or 6 at a time, gently turning over once with a slotted spoon, until just golden, 15 to 30 seconds per batch (some strips will fold and curl). Transfer to paper towels to drain, then season with salt.
- Make salad:
- Cook snow peas in a 4-quart pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking, then drain in a colander and pat dry. Cut diagonally into 1-inch-wide pieces and put in a large bowl with cabbage and romaine.
- Whisk together soy sauce, lemon juice, sugar, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, then add sesame oil and vegetable oil in a slow stream, whisking until sugar is dissolved and dressing is combined well. Toss chicken and scallions with 1/3 cup of dressing in another large bowl. Whisk remaining dressing (it will separate), then add cabbage mixture, cilantro, almonds, and sesame seeds to chicken and toss with enough remaining dressing to coat. Sprinkle with wontons (if using).
SPANISH-STYLE FRIED CHICKEN WITH GRILLED AVOCADO
Inspired by Spanish flavors, this fried chicken from chef Suzanne Goin of Los Angeles' A.O.C. gets a spicy boost in both the marinade and the seasoned breading. At A.O.C., Goin serves the dish with a romesco aioli. For a similar sauce, combine equal parts romesco and mayonnaise.
