When talking about American food, chicken wings or buffalo wings come to mind first most of the time.

The said dish that originated in the United States around the 1960s has grown so popular over the decades that several chicken wings joints have popped up all over the world, including in the Philippines.

And if you're addicted to chicken wings, then you've probably tried different flavors of it such as cheese, barbecue, sour cream, hot and spicy, garlic parmesan, and many others.

In a recent Pinas Sarap episode, the funny, naughty, and adorable chef and online content creator, Ninong Ry, gave his Filipino spin to the well-loved chicken wings using salted eggs or itlog na pula and chicken thighs.
