Steps:

• Coarsely chop 1 scallion and add it to the bowl of a food processor with the garlic; pulse until garlic is minced. Add the mayonnaise, buttermilk, and salt and pepper, to taste, and pulse until well combined and smooth. Slice the iceberg into 1-inch thick slices, cutting parallel to the core end and transfer to cold salad plates. Drizzle 2 to 3 tablespoons of the dressing over each slice. Thinly slice the remaining scallion, on a bias, and sprinkle over the salads.
• Note: This dressing tastes better as it sits; make it ahead and keep it chilled in the refrigerator.

• For the buffalo chicken: Remove skin from chicken, remove the chicken from bones and pull, shred or chop into bite-size pieces. Heat a skillet over medium to medium-high heat and melt butter. When it foams, grate or chop the garlic and swirl in the butter for a minute. Add hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, chicken and stock and simmer until most of the liquids are absorbed. Remove from heat.
• For the salad: Core and chop iceberg lettuce and spread across a large cutting board. Chop romaine lettuce and scatter to combine with the iceberg lettuce. Arrange the chips on a tray and warm in oven 2 to 3 minutes. Thinly slice or cut radishes into matchsticks using a box grater or mandoline, and do the same with carrots.
