Buffalo Chicken Strips with Blue Cheese Dip

by Aliza Green Instead of the traditional and now rather expensive chicken wings, I use boneless, skinless chicken thighs in my version of this popular snack. It’s best to use natural, high-quality chicken. The dip can be made up to four days ahead, but definitely start this dish at least a day ahead of time to let the chicken marinate. Serves four as a main dish or eight to twelve as an appetizer. Yields 2 pounds.
