Winger’s Sticky Fingers and Freakin’ Amazing Sauce
Description
Winger’s Sticky Fingers recipe starts with frozen breaded chicken strips, either Tyson Crispy or Just Bare Lightly Breaded varieties. These strips are prepared by deep frying for a traditional texture or baked/air-fried for a lighter approach. The highlight is the sticky sauce made by gently heating Frank's RedHot Original hot sauce, brown sugar, and a bit of water until the sugar fully dissolves. Allowing the sauce to cool ensures it properly adheres to the chicken strips without melting off.
This combination produces a sticky, glossy coating combining tangy heat and molasses-like sweetness. The crispy chicken texture contrasts with the thick sauce for a satisfying bite. The distinct use of Frank's RedHot provides the authentic flavor signature to the sauce.
The dish can be served immediately after tossing or made ahead by refrigerating the sauce and warming it before use, making it convenient for gatherings or quick preparations.
