You Don’t Have to Go Out to Eat Buffalo Sticky Fingers

So. Much. Deliciousness.

Do you love buffalo chicken wings?

Like the kind you can get at Wingers? My mouth gets all crazy just thinking about eating there. Nothing really compares to a real Winger’s chicken wing. They somehow cook them just right. The outside is slightly crispy and the inside is juicy and falls right off the bone tender. They are completely coated with that deliciously sticky, spicy, sweet sauce.

Some places serve Buffalo chicken wings…and they are so hot your mouth falls off your face and you can taste….

NOTHING.

Not these.

They have plenty of heat but not so much as to kill your taste buds. And there is sweet. Perfectly hot and perfectly sweet. We eat them till the sauce drips off our elbows. Actually, that is how you know you are doing it right. The sauce is all over your face and it’s running down your arms and it’s dripping off your elbows. There are not enough napkins to fix this mess so you are really grateful that the sweet waitress anticipates your messiness and brings you several wet wipes all tidy in their tear open pouches. You are happy to tip this thoughtful person.

But.

Sometimes perhaps you just want to stay home and maybe save a buck or two.

If this is the case, this is the recipe to use.

You will be pretty happy.

Your family will know you love them.

Maybe your family will tip you.

Boneless Buffalo Sticky Fingers

3/4 cup brown sugar

3 tablespoons Frank’s hot sauce

2 tablespoons water

boneless chicken

(I used Tyson frozen breaded chicken breast)

In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, hot sauce, and water. Bring to a boil and cook for about a minute, until all the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat.

Cut chicken in pieces and bake or deep fry. Coat each chicken piece completely in the sauce. Serve immediately with celery and extra sauce and Ranch Dressing for dipping.

This recipe will make enough sauce for about 4 breast pieces.

Any leftover sauce can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator.

When you are ready to use it, simply reheat it on the stovetop or in the microwave.
