    Method: 

    Combine vinegar and Tabasco (optional) in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Roll cooked chicken in vinegar to moisten. Combine paprika, sugar, salt and pepper in a sealable sandwich bag and shake to combine well. Place moistened chicken strips in the bag with seasonings and shake well to coat.

    Pack chicken (still in its seasoning bag) with a lunchbox container of blue cheese dressing on the side.

    Keep cold.
