Wingers

When hubby and I were dating we spent a lot of time at this restaurant called Wingers. The only thing we ever ordered were their sticky finger boneless wings. They are so good and even better cold the next day.

Then the other day I happened upon a new-to-me food blog: Favorite Family Recipes. And they happen to have a spot-on recipe to recreate those sticky fingers at home. They were perfect and really easy. And they would have looked perfect too if I could have found some decent boneless chicken wings at the store. I pared it with baked potato wedges which next time I'll add a little steak seasoning to them before baking and they will be perfect too.

Wingers Sticky Fingers:

For the sauce:
1/3 c. Franks Hot Sauce (You have to use Franks or it won't turn out just right)
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. water

Heat up hot sauce, brown sugar and water in a saucepan until all the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temp before adding to wings OR prepare ahead of time and refrigerate. The wings turn out best if you don't pour warm sauce over them. You want it nice and thick.

For the Sticky Fingers:
1 c. oil
1 pkg. frozen breaded chicken tenders

In a frying pan, heat oil and cook chicken tenders until crispy and warm. Dip each piece of chicken in the sauce so it is completely covered and move to serving plate, pour any remaining sauce over the chicken.
