This was really great. The timing for the oven was perfect, the chicken came out perfectly tender. We had a wide range of comments about this dish. DH hates blue cheese, so he didn't eat the dip at all. My roommate will eat anything and complained that there weren't any big chunks of blue cheese in it (I had blended it too much). I like blue cheese and didn't have any sherry, so I left it out, which made the dip extra thick - just the way I like it! We liked the chicken, but were confused as to why it is called "Buffalo" since there isn't any hot sauce in it - but that made it easy to give to my 5yo. I just made everyone try it without the sauce, and then put a bottle on the table for people to add some. It was delicious either way. Thank you very much for a great recipe!

These are outstanding buffalo chicken fingers. It's amazing what a little bit of ground red pepper and black pepper will do! First of all, making the chicken fingers were really easy. I used really thin chicken breasts, cut into tenders, and I did use Italian breadcrumbs because I accidentally bought them instead of the plain ones. No harm done, though, because they came out great, golden and crispy. The dipping sauce was excellent as well although my kids wouldn't try it. It has a nice little bite to it. They loved the chicken fingers themselves, though, and I served them with my own "Recipe#184592". This recipe is definitely a keeper and a kid pleaser.
