Winger's Sticky Fingers Recipe

There is a restaurant here in town called Wingers. They have these really yummy sticky chicken fingers on their menu with their really yummy sticky sauce.  Well at sixsistersstuff, I found a copycat recipe and it is even better than the restaurant!  (I went light on the hot sauce since theirs is super spicy, the origninal recipe called for 6 Tbl. of hot sauce, I cut it to 4.)  This is a quick and easy meal that my whole family loves!
1 pkg. frozen breaded chicken strips (We use Tyson brand)
4 Tbl. Frank’s Hot Sauce (It has to be Franks Hot Sauce, no other sauce will taste as good)
6 Tbl. water
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
Prepare the chicken strips as directed on the back of the package.Sauce:
Heat hot sauce, water and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, until sugar is dissolved. Pour sauce over chicken, and enjoy!  Serve with ranch dressing for dipping.
Serves 2-3 people.

Snowball Cookies

1 cup butter
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar plus 1 cup for dusting
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup finely chopped almonds or pecans
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

Cream butter in a mixing bowl.
Gradually add sugar (1/2 cup) and salt.
Continue creaming until light and fluffy.
Add nuts and vanilla extract.
Blend in flour gradually. Mix thoroughly.
Shape into teaspoonful balls.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 325° F. for 15-20 minutes.
Sprinkle some of the confectioner's sugar over cookies while still on the sheet. Cool before removing from cookie sheet.
Place some confectioner's sugar in a Ziploc bag and place some of the cookies inside. Gently shake well so the sugar completely coats the cookies.
 
I have heard these taste best when they sit for a couple of days.  We never seem to have any left that long. Maybe I will try some and hide them away...yeah right!
