Method

1
In a small saucepan, melt butter and stir in hot sauce, garlic powder, paprika, and white pepper. Simmer 3–5 minutes.
2
Whisk in blue cheese, sour cream, mayo, and lemon juice. Stir gently until the cheese melts slightly but keeps some texture.
3
Remove from heat and toss with tenders while warm. For extra punch, top with crumbled blue cheese and celery ribbons.
