The combination of ingredients in this Winger’s copycat Sticky Chicken Salad is what makes this salad dreamy. Crunchy romaine lettuce, dried cranberries, shredded carrots, cheese, and of course those amazing sticky chicken fingers! This is one of my favorite salads and I’ve been wanting to make a copycat recipe at home! It turned out AMAZING! You’re going to want to try this one! Enjoy!
Winger’s Sticky Chicken Finger Salad
Remember Wingers? Are those still around?
I used to love going to Winger’s. Their sticky fingers were my favorite! Come to think tof it, I think the location in St George is still open.
I loved how they always served popcorn before the meal as a kid. I thought that was so cool. And I would dip it in the creamy amazing sauce.
Remember creamy amazing sauce? It’s their amazing sauce mixed with ranch, and it’s so good!
Any-who, recently I found a bottle of Winger’s Amazing Sauce at Costco and I knew I had to make my old favorite recipe, the sticky finger salad!
How to Make Air Fryer Sticky Chicken
Winger’s Sticky Chicken is so yummy! It’s easy to make at home now if you have the amazing sauce.
I made the sticky chicken in my air fryer and it was so quick!
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
- Place frozen pre-made chicken nuggets in the air fryer and bake for 6 minutes.
- After the chicken has been baked, place it in a bowl with the amazing sauce and toss to coat.
- Line the air fryer with parchment paper and place the coated chicken back in it and fry for an additional 2-3 minutes to bake the sauce on.
- Remove from air fryer and enjoy!
My favorite frozen chicken nuggets are actually the members market chicken nuggets from Sam’s Club, but any chicken nuggets will work for this recipe!
As I mentioned, I found the Winger’s Amazing Sauce at my local Costco but here is an amazon link I found.
