1. Position an oven rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees . Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. In a large bowl, toss together the chicken, oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Arrange the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mash the sour cream and cream cheese with a fork; season with salt. Stir in the blue cheese and 1 tablespoon water. Refrigerate until ready to use.
