If there is one thing I crave, it is Winger's Sticky Fingers.
Winger's is a restaurant in Utah, Idaho and a few other states and they are famous for their wings and sticky fingers. This has been a family favorite for a few years and we just can't seem get enough of them! They are always a hit!
My husband and I were cravin' some sticky finger goodness last weekend so we got some take out and realized we like this copycat recipe more than the original!
And you don't have to pay a tip! :)
Winger's Sticky Fingers Recipe:
1 pkg. frozen breaded chicken strips (We use Tyson brand)
6 Tbl. Frank's Hot Sauce (It has to be Franks Hot Sauce, no other sauce will taste as good)
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.

ReplyDeleteJust Another Day in Paradise
Yes please!
ReplyDeletejust a heads up for everyone the brown sugar will crystalize i added a smidge of karo syrup still sweet and perfect the next day!
ReplyDeleteTo anonymous: I have this same recipe on my blog, and i've made it SEVERAL times and never had it crystallize. I usually even make extra sauce to keep in the fridge.
ReplyDeleteWill it taste ok with the Buffalo wing sauce that Franks makes? I havent tried the regular sauce but i use the buffalo one for everything!
ReplyDelete@Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteI've never tried it with any other sauce, but if you like it I'm sure it will still taste so good!
I've been waiting for this since I left Utah!! I'm so excited. Also,If you hear anything about Winger's special sauce, I'd love to have a recipe for that too!
ReplyDeleteI am SO craving sticky fingers! But here in Germany is no Wingers! Glad I came across this recipe!

DeleteThere are 2 Wingers Locations in Germany. Hope you're close to one! I seriously considered an 8 hour drive to go there when I was pregnant with my first. They also sell the sauce and I would have family send it to me when we were stationed at Spangdahlem in Germany. Good luck!
You can buy the special sauce for $5.00 a bottle at any Winger's. :)
ReplyDeleteThe special sauce is Winger sauce mixed with ranch :)

DeleteThat's so funny to hear because I made this last Sunday night & I decided to mix some ranch with some of this leftover sauce.....I thought I made up something new but apparently this Winger's place already thought of that too LOL
DeleteI live in Portland, OR.....we don't have a Wringer's here. I'd never even heard of it until I came across this blog. These Sticky Finger's are to DIE for though!!! So glad I found it :)
@ Alex and Melynda- concerning special suace: THANKYOU! I feel like a hole in my heart has been filled. lol. I'm making this right now- complete with the special dipping sauce.
ReplyDeleteWill this come out kid friendly or too spicy? Can't wait to make this tonight!
ReplyDeleteIt was a little spicy, I just put a few chicken strips to the side before pouring the sauce over the rest of the chicken.
DeleteNeeds a tsp of salt
ReplyDelete@April,
ReplyDeleteIt is a little spicy so I'll usually leave out a few pieces of chicken for my son and then pour sauce on the rest!
I've made this several times over the years. I also add a tsp or so of karo syrup to it doesn't crystallize. For the kids, mine are 5,3, and 1, add a little ketchup and they are good to go. I think it makes the sauce a little sweeter and not so spicy.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of this before I saw your post, but I'm so glad we tried it! Huge hit here.
ReplyDeleteSo so yummy! I made this for dinner tonight along with some potato skins and it was just like we were eating out! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Ee've made these several times since I found it on pinterest and we LOVE them!!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to make these! We always go to Wingers for my birthday but this is our first year where there isn't one in the state! My grocery store carries Frank's Hot Sauce, but 4 different kinds, none of which are just plain "Frank's Hot Sauce". Recommendations?
ReplyDeleteWe usually use the Buffalo Wings Frank's Hot Sauce, but I'm sure they would all taste great!
DeleteI found this recipe on Pinterest! Super yummy and easy to make! We had leftovers so for lunch the next day I put them in a wrap! The sticky fingers,lettuce(i used green leaf) some cheese and a little bit of ranch in a tortilla super yummy lunch!
ReplyDeleteOh I hadn't even thought of that....I'm going to make extra next time so I can make some wraps!! Yumm!! Thank you "Price Is Right" for the idea!!
DeleteDon't know the restaraunt- but these sound good!
ReplyDeleteJust made this tonight for dinner, it was SUPER yummy. My husband was impressed. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHow many chicken strips are in the package because i got the big costco size?
ReplyDeleteHi!
DeleteThere are usually about 15-20 in the package we use. Thanks!
So I tried the recipe and was wondering how I can make crispier chicken? I bought the breaded chicken, but it wasn't as crunchy as it is when I get it at a restaurant.
ReplyDeleteI usually cook my chicken strips for the maximum time so they get as crispy as possible. I also put the sauce on right before serving. Thanks!
DeleteI am in NY and have never heard of a Wingers, but after reading this post, there is no need to! These things were so simple and so amazing!! These will be a staple in my house on nights that I have no idea what to make!!
ReplyDeleteMaking this now(;
ReplyDeleteOMG this is so yummy! thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis was so delicious and tasted legit! It really tastes just like the real thing. My husband and I could not get over how great this sauce it.
ReplyDeleteI waited tables at Winger's for years through my undergrad, and ate more than my fair share of sauce in various ways. Now we live in Arkansas, and today the sticky finger craving hit. For date night tonight, we are whipping up a batch of this sauce, and I.cannot.wait. Also, this sauce will last for weeks in the fridge, in case anyone was wondering. Weeks.
