How large is it?  How many pins, and in which configuration?

For example, if you look at the ADXL210E from Analog Devices,
it comes in an 8-pin CLCC package, with pins 1-3 on the left,
5-7 on the right, 4 at the bottom, and 8 at the top (viewed
from above).  Glue it belly up on a 8-DIP socket, then solder a
piece of wrapping wire to each pad on the chip.  Insert the
other end of the wire into the pin hole on the socket, then
tack it in with some solder, if possible.

This works best with flat top machine pin sockets, but you
can make it work with anything.  If the chip is larger, use a
wider socket and trim its length appropriately.  This also works
quite well with SOIC components.
