    • 1-2 lbs Chicken Breast
    • 1½ Cups All Purpose Flour
    • ¼ Cup Cornstarch
    • 1 tsp Baking Powder
    • 1 tsp Paprika

    • ¼ to ½ tsp salt to taste
    • ½ to ¾ tsp black pepper to taste
  • Sticky’s Finger Joint and their Extra Special Sauce

    Clucking for more chicken?

    Located all over Brooklyn, it’s not hard to find the chicken chain. Sticky’s Finger Joint has proclaimed itself as “The Home Of The Best Damn Chicken Fingers!” Now I’m not gonna knock Sticky’s chicken. The chicken fingers ain’t bad, but that’s not why I like going. The real stars (for me at least) are the sauces. What’s a chicken finger without something to dunk it in? I for one want to try all their sauces. I’m a little embarrassed to say it but it’s like filling a Pokédex for me. On their current menu they have 13 different sauces to try ranging from classic to global. As of writing this, they have 2 limited time sauces; Jerk BBQ and Taco Supreme.

    Now while I haven’t tried their extensive menu, because they do sell more than just chicken fingers, I feel like it’s my duty to tell you everything they sell. Starting with their sandwiches.

    • They have the classic served with sticky’s sauce, purple slaw and pickles.
    • A spicy chicken served with Sticky’s sauce, Nashville numb sauce, cumin and pickles.
    • The honey BBQ consists of the sassy BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, honey and of course pickles.

    Next is their wraps, all of which have two chicken fingers within them (you just can’t get away from the chicken fingers).

    • The chicken caesar wrap is simple. Grilled and wrapped with coleslaw, and grated parmesan cheese
    • The chicken bacon crunch wrap has obviously chopped bacon, grilled greens, tomatoes, red onions, cheddar cheese and buttermilk baby ranch
    • Sticky chicken wrap consisting of buffalo balsamic maple, coleslaw, pickles, shredded carrots and cheddar cheese.

    Side note: I think the buffalo balsamic maple is an acquired taste

    There’s also the sides but I’m not gonna get into those.
