Infamous Winger's Sticky Fingers

Pinterest Recipe #1= Success!

If you love Winger's like Ethan and I do, but hate eating out then this recipe is for you. It is one of those recipes that really does what it claims to do: mimic a restaurant recipe.

For the chicken...

I just buy a package of Tyson’s frozen breaded chicken strips and bake them according to their conventional oven directions. (**Warning: this makes enough sauce to feed the whole family about 10-12 pieces of chicken. So, if you're not feeding a crowd you might want to halve the recipe like we did.)

**If you wish to fry them, go for it! Or if you have your own breaded chicken recipe and you feel up to the challenge, then try it! Tyson’s frozen breaded chicken is already done (just bake according to package's directions)and is way easy for the meal in a crunch.**


Now for the SPECIAL Wingers Sauce

  • 1 and ½ cups brown sugar
  • 6 Tbsp FRANKS hot sauce (I would use the original because the buffalo version she suggested was a little too hot for my sensative pallet = ))
  • 4 Tbsp water
Heat sauce until sugar is dissolved, then pour over chicken!
Enjoy! Serves about 2 with a little left over….so 2 for the price of 1!

The Perils of Pinterest!!!

Okay, so before Ethan and I made our next two weeks menu, I was messing around on Pinterest and learned two very important lessons: one, never Pinterest hungry (no good can come of those cravings); two, never Pinterest before you create your menu (too many great ideas and only two weeks to do them all). However, since I didn't know the perils of Pinterest, I did pin hungry and right before making the menu. The result is that we are trying 5 new recipes over the next two weeks! Here's hoping that they will all turn out as well as they look and I will therefore be able to share them with you guys.
