Pinoy Style Buffalo Chicken Wings

I remember falling in love with Don Henrico’s buffalo wings and wishing I could replicate it at home. At that time I felt it was next to impossible because one, it looks difficult to do and two, the ingredients would probably be expensive. I endlessly read through forums hoping to find a simple recipe and after a few weeks I finally hit the jackpot, yey! It’s not as special as Don Henrico’s but it’s yummy nonetheless plus so easy to do. =) Thank you GirlTalk! So here goes:

 

You will need:

·         1 kilo chicken wings

·         Fish Sauce

·         Calamansi

·         1 or 2 eggs

·         Flour

·         Magic Sarap (optional)

·         Cooking Oil

·         1 bottle Sweet and Spicy Sauce (i.e. Jufran)

·         Sour Cream (optional)

·         Scallions / Green Onions (optional)

 

How to make:

• Mix equal parts of fish sauce and calamansi
• Marinate the chicken wings for about 30 minutes to 2 hours
• While the chicken is marinating season the flour with a bit of Magic Sarap or any added flavor you prefer
• Beat the eggs.
• Bread the chicken wings. Dip them first into the beaten eggs  then to the flour and  Magic Sarap mixture
• Fry until golden brown and then set aside.
• Take another pan, pour all the contents of the sweet and spicy sauce
• Once heated, mix the sauce with your fried chicken wings
• Serve while hot.

 

TIP # 1: Don’t marinate the chicken wings for too long because the meat might turn too sour

TIP # 2: Do not overcrowd the pan when frying

TIP # 3: Should you want to take it a step further, you may serve this with sour cream topped with Scallions.

TIP # 4: If you can’t find sour cream you can buy Nestle cream, mix with a little calamansi. Let stand for a few minutes then add garlic and onion powder, then mix thoroughly.
