Winger’s restaurant is one of my favorite Utah places to visit. The Winger’s Sticky Finger Salad is one of my favorite dishes. I opt for the grilled chicken in mine but the sticky fingers are delicious too. And the sauce? The sauce is AMAZING! Freaking amazing if you ask the restaurant. You can now buy the sauce at Macey’s or Harmon’s if you live in Utah, or you can order it online or make it yourself at home. Seriously, you’ve not had a sauce like this–the perfect combination of sweet and spicy and only two ingredients.
The salad is relatively easy to throw together. You just need lettuce, cranberries, tomatoes, chicken, Winger’s sauce and cheese. It’s delicious and the perfect busy weeknight salad.
If you find you love the sauce, try it on these amazing recipes:

- In a small bowl, mix together the ranch dressing and 4-5 tablespoons of Winger's sauce to taste. Set aside for later use.
- In a small plastic bag, mix together 1/4 cup of the Winger's sauce and the chicken breast. Marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour in the bag.

Top with warm cooked chicken and drizzle with dressing.
Notes
You can substitute the actual Wingers sauce sold online or at Macey's or Harmon's stores (Macey's/Harmon's are grocery stores in Utah/Idaho).
