i just found 8oz of challenger in my freezer and can’t remember why I bought them. I am now taking suggestions/thoughts/comments on how to best use these hops.
cheers!

They’re garbage. Send them to me I’ll properly dispose of them.
If it were me I’d go ESB or English Pale Ale. Pick a UK-style ale recipe you like and swap these for the Goldings. Decent UK bittering hop as well.
I like that hop. I use it for bittering in higher-IBU and/or stronger English ales. Use it for bittering in an ESB, with late EKG and a dry hop of Styrian. Yum.
One CAMRA award winner is Coniston Bluebird Bitter, all Challenger hops. I did a similar beer several years back and liked it. Beer discription says “orange fruit aroma from the Challenger hops”.
