Winger's Sticky Fingers




Ingredients
  • For the sauce:
  • 1/3 c. Franks Hot Sauce (It has to be Franks Hot Sauce... no other sauce will taste as good)
  • 1 1/2 c. brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. water
  • For the Sticky Fingers:
  • 1 c. oil
  • 1 pkg. frozen breaded chicken tenders (We like to use the Tyson brand)
Instructions
  • Heat up hot sauce, brown sugar and water in a saucepot 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.
  • That's IT for the sauce! Isn't that easy?? We like to dip popcorn in it :) Mix it with a little bit of ranch to make their creamy amazing dressing.The possibilities are ENDLESS with this sauce!
  • 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.
  • Serve with ranch (we like to make the Hidden Valley Packet Ranch prepared with buttermilk instead of milk) or blue cheese dressing.
  • *If you want to go a little lighter you can also bake the chicken tenders instead of frying, they still taste really good.

Saucy BBQ Hot Dogs

 

Ingredients
  • 8 beef hot dogs (we like Nathan's or Hebrew National)
  • 8 hot dog buns
  • your favorite hot dog toppings

    For the sauce:
  • 3/4 c. ketchup
  • 1/2 c. BBQ sauce (we used Bull's Eye original)
  • 1/3 c. brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder

Instructions
  • Combine sauce ingredients in a medium-sized sauce pot. When sauce is combined and sugar is dissolved (don't quite bring to a boil) remove from heat and set aside.
  • Add hot dogs to slow cooker and pour sauce over. Stir to evenly distribute the sauce. Cook on high heat for about 2 hours (don't discard the sauce-- you may want to pour extra over your hot dogs before eating).
  • Remove hot dogs from slow cooker and grill on medium-high heat for about 2 minutes or so on each side or until desired doneness (I like mine just to have light grill marks).
  • Add hot dogs to hot dog buns and top with desired toppings and extra sauce.
