SWEET BBQ CHICKEN WINGS
If you would travel the world, you’ll notice that the “barbecue” flavor differs from place to place. And to be honest, the barbecue flavor I love the most is the Pinoy version.
To be real, there are no rules on what a barbecue flavor must be. In other countries, their version of the barbecue sauce is made from a concoction of vinegar, tomato paste, mayonnaise, mustard and sugar. The Pinoy version of the barbecue is the one made with a mixture of soy sauce, banana ketchup and sugar (sometimes with oyster sauce). What I truly love about our version is it’s sweet, simple and walang kuskos-balungos.
The bbq sauce is actually called bbq sauce because it is the sauce basted on the barbecue when grilling. We love this sauce so much that we tried to incorparate it to non-grilled foods, like this chicken wings recipe.

HOW TO MAKE SWEET BBQ CHICKEN WINGS
If you have tried other coated chicken wings recipe in the past, this recipe would surely be easy peasy for you.
This dish has two components– the chicken wings and the sweet bbq sauce.
Let’s start with the chicken wings! Our goal is to make the chicken as crispy as possible since it will be coated for later. If the wings you have bought are big, cut them into smaller servings by cutting from the joint to separate the wingette and the drummette. The next step would be seasoning them with the basics. Garlic and paprika powder are totally optional, but they add an extra flavor to the chicken.
The cornstarch, flour and water mixture would be the all in one batter for the chicken. You can actually add it later but I added them now so that they will stick better into the chicken.
The last preparation for the chicken is to deep fry them until golden brown and crispy. Make sure to transfer them to a strainer after to drip the excess oil for them to remain crispy.
The next component would be the sweet bbq sauce. All you needed to do is to put all the sauce ingredients in the pan, heat them and mix until they come together. Do a taste test and add more sugar if you like it sweeter. Toss the crispy chicken on the sauce until well coated. Or, you can serve them separately and have the sweet bbq sauce as a dip.
I love enjoying my wings with fries or with rice. Yum!
