Today, we’re excited to share with you our unique twist on this beloved recipe!

What sets this buffalo wings apart is the clever incorporation of Filipino flavors and ingredients, resulting in a mouthwatering fusion of American and Pinoy cuisine. Our recipe incorporates banana ketchup, calamansi juice (or lemon juice as an alternative), and the ever-versatile Magic Sarap seasoning. Additionally, we’ve added an extra step of coating the wings with cornstarch, ensuring an unbeatable combination of juiciness, tenderness, and crispiness.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you create the perfect Buffalo Wings:

Prepare the Chicken Wings

Begin by washing the chicken wings thoroughly, ensuring they are free from any tiny feathers. Trim the toenail at the tip of each wing for a clean presentation.

Season the Wings

Once the wings are dry, coat them with calamansi juice (or lemon juice), salt, Magic Sarap seasoning, and pepper. This marinade will infuse the chicken with a burst of tangy and savory flavors. For best results, allow the wings to marinate for at least one hour, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Heat the Oil

In a deep frying pan, heat enough cooking oil to submerge the chicken wings while frying. Heating the oil to the correct temperature is crucial for achieving crispy wings without excessive greasiness.

Coat with Cornstarch

To add an extra layer of crunchiness, coat the marinated chicken wings with cornstarch before frying. An easy method is to place the wings in a sturdy plastic bag, add cornstarch, and shake until the wings are thoroughly coated.

Deep Fry the Wings

Carefully place the cornstarch-coated wings into the hot oil and fry until they turn a beautiful golden brown. Ensure that the wings are cooked evenly and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption. Once cooked, drain the excess oil by placing the wings on a strainer or paper towel.

Create the Signature Sauce

In a saucepan, melt margarine and add hot sauce, calamansi juice, and banana ketchup. Stir well to combine all the ingredients, creating a tantalizing sauce with a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors. Allow the sauce to simmer for a few seconds, enhancing the overall taste.

Coat the Wings

Add the fried chicken wings to the saucepan and stir until each wing is thoroughly coated with the mouthwatering sauce. This step ensures that every bite is bursting with flavor, creating an unforgettable taste experience.

Serve and Enjoy

Once all the wings are evenly coated, it’s time to serve these delectable buffalo wings. Arrange them on a platter and garnish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro or parsley for an added pop of freshness. Serve them hot, and watch as your guests dive in with enthusiasm.
