Wingers Sticky Fingers Recipe

Wingers, is an iconic American restaurant chain known for it's legendary Sticky Fingers. Crispy, flavorful chicken strips are glazed with a sweet and tangy sauce. It's one of our family's favorite meals. We used to buy their sauce from the restaurant, but I learned tand we love being able to enjoy the favorite sauce at home! Best of all it's just a few ingredients to make!

Why Are Wings Such an Important Food?

Wings are deeply rooted in American culture. A popular food for sports watching, it's one of the most served foods on Super Bowl Sunday. But they are also popular not only at game time but while dining at the bar, or during summer. They have become one of the most popular American finger foods.

And their asphalt dessert pie is delicious! It's a wing bar with a family friendly atmosphere and vibe with sports playing.

Ingredients

This recipe is the closest and best copycat recipe I can find for the sauce. It is delicious on it's own. The sauce is the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. And the sauce is only three ingredients!! I haven't met one person that hasn't tried the Wingers sauce and not liked it. You will need:

• Frank's hot sauce
• Butter
• Garlic
• Brown sugar

Instructions

Follow the package instructions to cook the chicken strips. While they're cooking, prepare the sauce. On the stove, set a saucepan over low heat. Add the butter and let it melt. Stir in the rest of the sauce ingredients until the sugar dissolves and the sauce becomes smooth. Once the chicken strips are done, toss them in the sauce. Serve and enjoy!

Wingers chicken can be cut up and served in a sticky finger salad like the one in the photo or you can serve it with fries, mashed potatoes, celery sticks, or salad. Don't forget dessert too! A slice of Wingers asphalt pie is perfect!
