RECIPE NOTES

• Adjust the amount of hot sauce depending on how hot or spicy you want your buffalo chicken wings would be.

• To keep the chicken wings crunchy, add the sauce when it cooled down a little and just toss the fried chicken with it to coat.

• I want a little bit of sweetness in my buffalo chicken wings, making it a little bit of savory and sweet. You may omit sugar if you want to keep on the savory side.

• In this recipe, I used banana ketchup (soooo Filipino, right?), but you can use any ketchup available, be it tomato or banana ketchup.

• You may top it with chopped parsley or sesame seeds.
