Winger's Sticky Finger Salad


I wanted to copy the sticky finger salad that I'm always ordering at Wingers, using the Amazing Sauce that we bought from them.  Here's what I did.

Sticky Finger Salad

Green Leaf Lettuce, chopped
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
craisins
Sticky fingers
cherry tomatoes (optional)
Ranch Dressing

Layer on the plate just before serving.  It's as simple as that!  The magic is in the craisins, yum, yum.

 Sticky Fingers


First, I bought a bag of frozen pre-breaded chicken tenders from Costco, which cook for around 20 minutes.  Five minutes before they are done, I take them out and cut them into strips and return them to the oven.  Then I cook them 10 minutes longer (five minutes over time) so they are nice and crunchy.  I pull them out, put them in a bowl, and drizzle the Amazing Sauce over and I have sticky fingers for under $2.50/lb.  I estimate that I am using $1 worth of sticky fingers on each salad (and that is the most expensive part).

Note- Here is an attempt at reproducing Winger's Amazing Sauce.  I use 3 cups brown sugar and boil it with 1 cup Frank's hot sauce.  Tastes just like it!
