Scale
Sauce Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Frank’s Original Hot Sauce
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup water
Chicken
- 8 to 10 fully cooked breaded chicken fingers
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the hot sauce, brown sugar, and water. Stir continuously and cook until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to boil. Remove from heat and let it stand for a couple of minutes to slightly thicken.
- Cook Chicken Fingers (If Frozen): If using frozen chicken fingers, bake them according to the package directions while you prepare the sticky sauce.
- Coat the Chicken Fingers: Place the cooked, breaded chicken fingers in a large bowl or pan. Pour the warm sticky sauce over the chicken fingers and use tongs to turn them, ensuring they are fully coated with the sauce.
- Serve: Serve the sticky chicken fingers immediately with your favorite dressing or dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, for an extra layer of flavor.
Notes
- Using fully cooked frozen chicken fingers saves time; just follow baking instructions on the package.
- The sauce thickens slightly as it cools; serve warm for best coating.
- Pair with ranch dressing or blue cheese for a classic combination that balances the sauce’s spiciness.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce or brown sugar to customize heat and sweetness levels.
