Wingers Sticky Finger Wraps

Last week for dinner we had these crazy good Sticky Finger Wraps pictured above. I found this recipe a couple weeks back at Life as a Lofthouse. I knew as soon as I saw this recipe that it was defiantly something I needed to make. My first thought of this recipe was that this could be "dinner made two ways".

Anyone who has a picky eater knows exactly what I'm taking about. My son Carson probably wouldn't be too crazy about the sauce, but I'm pretty sure everyone else would love it. No problem I could just pull his chicken strips out before I cover them in the sticky finger sauce. This way I could please everyone.

The recipe for the sticky finger sauce is slap you silly easy. It only consists of three ingredients, Franks Original Hot Sauce, brown sugar and water. That's it! Now make sure to use Franks Original Red Hot because I'm hearing from everyone that's the only one to use.

I toned down the amount of hot sauce by 2 tablespoons just to make sure it wasn't too spicy for my daughter. Really it wasn't spicy at all so next time I will add the full 6 tablespoons called for.

Now I don't have a "Wingers" anywhere near by, so I really can't compare these to the original, but I have to say they were fabulous. We liked them as a wrap and served by themselves, so this recipe is a KEEPER! I have included a few step by step photos, but the full recipe is at the end of this post.
Today I will be bringing these fantastic Sticky Finger Wraps to our Virtual Potluck. Now it's your turn, do you have a recipe you would like to bring to our potluck? If so then you can link up at the end of this post. Please link directly to your post, not your homepage and don't forget to include a link back to Mommy's Kitchen. I hope y'all will take some time and stop by all of the wonderful blogs who have contributed a recipe.

Bake the chicken strips according to package directions. Add the brown sugar, franks hot sauce and water to a medium sauce pan. Cook the sauce over medium heat until heated through and the sugar is dissolved. Add the cooked chicken strips to a bowl that has a cover. Pour that yummy sauce all over the chicken strips and seal the bowl shut. Shake the bowl until all the chicken strips are covered with the sauce.

Wrap the sticky fingers in warmed flour tortilla with desired amount of cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. You can also eat them plain or dip into ranch dressing.


Enjoy

Looks like a great recipe, Tina! And I thought it was so cool to show the brown sugar in a pitcher that said Home SWEET Home! Whether that was planned or a coincident, I LOVED it! It's always a treat to read your posts. Thank you so much for your efforts in making Mommy's Kitchen worth the visit!

Tina at Mommy's Kitchen said...

Mary thank you for linking up. Love seeing your recipes.

@deebeefromnc that is actually part of a set to my gooseberry patch measuring cup set. They are my absolute favorite measuring cups.

K the wraps were excellent. I could eat the sticky fingers all by themselves.

This looks so good. I am going to put it on my meal plan next week. I was worried about it being too spicy for my kids so am glad to hear you say that it isn't.
