Wingers Sticky Fingers Copycat recipe

One day I was craving Winger's famous sticky fingers, with their yummy crunch, spice, and sweetness. I searched on yes, you guessed it--Pinterest. Surely enough there was a recipe posted, so I tried it out. I will be honest and frank: this is one of the easiest and best recipes I have tried. It tastes almost exactly like Winger's sticky fingers. And, out of curiosity, I may even make this sauce again to try on a very good hot dog or polish dog, because I kid you not, it also tastes similar J-Dawg's very own special sauce (I know that sauce at least has brown sugar in it because it tasted sweet and sticky.) I may have to add a couple of ingredients to get it right, but if this sauce tastes like it once I try it out, I will definitely post it on here in a jiffy.

Now I know that not everyone reading this post is from Utah, so for those who are not, Winger's is a restaraunt in Utah and a few other states famous for their wings and sticky fingers. They are very one-of-a-kind! (In addition to that, J-Dawgs is unique to my college town, but everyone that comes here goes there. They are known for originating as a small shack that sold hot dogs with this "special sauce." It is sticky, sweet, and spicy, and is also very unique, but I'll save that for another post once I try this sauce on a good polish or hot dog sometime.)

Anyways, here is the recipe, thanks to the website http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2011/12/wingers-sticky-fingers-copycat-recipe.html

These are the only ingredients needed (plus a little bit of water.) And don't worry, there's only small portions for each of the ingredients. That whole bottle of hot sauce isn't in there :)



Winger's Sticky Fingers Copycat recipe:

1 pkg. frozen breaded chicken strips (You can use Tyson brand, but I used Kroger because it's a little cheaper and still worked very well)
6 Tbl. Frank's Hot Sauce (It has to be Franks Hot Sauce, no other sauce will taste as good, according to that one website)
4 Tbl. water
1 1/2 c. brown sugar

Chicken:
 Prepare the chicken strips as directed on the back of the package.

Sauce:
 Heat hot sauce, water and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, until sugar is dissolved.

Pour sauce over chicken, and enjoy!  Serve with ranch dressing for dipping.

Serves 2-3 people.
