I decided on Cane’s chicken strips and dipping sauce based upon what I feel constitutes it.
The dipping sauce is a bit like many other secret sauces out there. Especially ones used for chicken and double decker burgers.

I have never heard of Canes but your chicken and dip sound delicious.
I looked on a map and sure enough, they have not invaded Michigan yet. Look for them to start popping up like weeds.
Oh heck yea I love Cane’s sauce!
