Wingers Sticky Fingers

There are some foods that take you back to certain times and places with just one bite. One of those foods for me is Winger’s sticky fingers.

For those not familiar with Winger’s, it’s a Utah-based chain that specializes in chicken wings and sticky fingers: a type of chicken finger coated in sweet-spicy sauce. It’s delicious, and reminds me of going to Winger’s on game nights in college because the local restaurant had game day special. It reminds of me good times, great wins and wonderful food.

As kids have come along, the ability to easily go to the restaurant has decreased, but I still crave these delicious sticky fingers. So I thought, “What if I could make them myself?” So I did.

This is about as close as you can get to the real deal. Even if you’ve never been to Winger’s you owe it to your taste buds to try this quick-fix recipe.
