Winger's Sticky Chicken

Ok, so you are SUPPOSED to make this into a salad - but, remember - house full of BOYS....so, I made it and served it with mashed potatoes and strawberries (hey, at least I got a fruit in there!).....this website - Deals to Meals - not only is a service to help you save on your groceries (note:  I signed up for the free 2week trial early-November, LOVING it so far!) - but they also have some great recipes to help you USE those groceries - what a great idea!! ;)


Recipe (with my adaptations!):
Sticky Chicken Salad
2 chicken breasts, breaded and baked until cooked through (I just dredge the chicken breasts or tenders in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs. I then bake o r fry them until they are golden brown. In a pinch for dinner? Use pre-breaded chicken for a quick and easy meal!) (yeah, easy is where I LIVE - I used frozen pre-breaded chicken tenders!)
2-3 tomatoes, diced
Croutons
(can make homemade croutons)
½ c. cheddar cheese, shredded
½ red onion, sliced thinly

(I added in craisins, also!)
Ranch dressing


Sticky Dressing:
2 ½ c. brown sugar
1/3 c. Franks Hot Sauce
(you can buy this for inexpensive in a large, bulk size at Walmart--believe me, you will go through it!) (ok, took their advice -bought the BIG jar of this - if you need a measly little 1/3 c, run on by, I share!)
3 T. corn syrup
½ c. apple cider vinegar


Combine all dressing ingredients in sauce pan. Stirring constantly on medium high heat, boil for one to one and a half minutes. If you cook longer than that, the sauce will turn hard like candy. This dressing can be used on salads, wings, chicken, etc. This dressing will stay good in your fridge for weeks, so double the recipe if you like leftovers.

Serve the salad with the ingredients mentioned above and then drizzle with ranch and then the Sticky Dressing. You could also mix the ranch and dressing to make the 'Creamy Amazing Sauce' like at Wingers.

Approval Level:
This sauce was YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY!  And, it "kept" in the fridge for awhile - which is a Good Thing, since it makes a TON!  I have made the salad version (you know, for ME!) and I love it, the MenFolk - they are particularly fond of just piles of the chicken!  A keeper, for sure!
