Sticky Finger Salad

This copycat version of Winger's salad just

might become one of your family's new

summer favorites.

It is so easy and so delicious.  There are recipes

for a Winger's style sauce all over the internet.

We tweak ours just a little using Frank's Buffalo

sauce rather than Frank's Hot Sauce.

Sticky Fingers Salad Recipe

1 head Romaine lettuce, washed, chopped and

refrigerated

2 lb. deli chicken strips

fresh Ranch dressing (made with buttermilk)

1/2 C. Franks Buffalo Sauce (not hot)

1 1/2 C. brown sugar

Prepare the lettuce and make sure to take the

time to refrigerate it for at least half an hour before

using so that the lettuce is crisp.  Slice the chicken

strips from the deli into bite size pieces.  We have also

bought chicken strips from KFC. (They are usually 

more pricey than the ones from your grocery store deli.)  

You can also buy frozen chicken strips and cook them

yourself , but I find the deli ones are a lot meatier and

juicier.

In a small saucepan place the Buffalo sauce and the brown

sugar.  Heat until the brown sugar is dissolved, stirring and

making sure that the sauce doesn't burn on the sides

of the pan.  Let cool for a few minutes.

Toss the chicken with the sauce.  Place the lettuce

on a serving dish and top with saucy chicken.  Drizzle

fresh Ranch dressing over.  (Don't use the bottled Ranch,

it is worth the effort to make it, and be sure to make it

with real mayo and buttermilk to get the best flavor.)

Serve right away.

Of course you can make Sticky Fingers

without the salad too and serve it with

Ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.

This is so fantastic and so easy.
