Pan-Fried Pretzel Chicken
Get the Recipe
Instead of breadcrumbs, coat your chicken in salty pretzel crumbs. Grind up pretzel twists, then mix with a few pantry staple seasonings. Dunk the chicken in mustard, cover in the pretzel blend, then sizzle up the pan-to-oven-fried chicken sandwich recipe until crispy and cooked through. Serve on pretzel buns with a drizzle of honey.

Italian Sausage Grinders
Get the Recipe
When we're in the mood for a sandwich recipe for dinner, we often turn to grinders or other fully loaded, saucy sammies. Fresh basil, oregano, and a spoonful of balsamic vinegar take these Sloppy Joe-like sandwiches on a trip to Italy. Top with peppers and onions, melt on some provolone, and dig in (once you have plenty of napkins ready).

Buffalo Chicken Sliders
Get the Recipe
A standard spicy chicken sandwich recipe is fried. But we like to switch things up—especially come tailgating season—with this Buffalo chicken variation. It's simple to set and forget in your slow cooker. Then you can keep it warm for slider-sized snacks all party long. Of course, any slider buns will do, but we're partial to Hawaiian rolls for a sweet-spicy pairing.

Coffee-Rubbed Salmon Sandwiches
Get the Recipe
Cod or pollack is a more common choice for fish sandwich recipes, but we're wild about this riff that allows frozen or fresh salmon to take center stage. The rub makes this stand out from the seafood competition; sweet, smoky, and spicy all at once, you'll want to use it to coat every salmon filet you serve. Sandwich or otherwise!

Hard-boiled egg, bacon, blue cheese, avocado, and tomato all get tucked inside each pocket alongside the leftover or rotisserie chicken.
