What to Have with Your Spicy Buffalo Wings

By: Nick Jones on 4:48 PM

These days, I’ve been having more buffalo wings than usual. Aside from the fact that it’s widely available thanks to Davao food delivery being greatly improved and optimized, it’s just a dish that you can have at almost any time of the day. Although it is technically an appetizer, its place in the Filipino table can be interchanged.  As a snack, as part of your meal, or as pulutan, it never disappoints. 

Here are some of the best things that can go with your spicy buffalo wings:

Rice - For Filipinos, having something savory to go with hot rice is one of the best feelings in the world. Having the buffalo wings sauce mingle with rice makes me reach for more servings. It’s not always the best choice if you’re watching your diet, but in the end, there are no regrets.

Potato fries/wedges - Hands down, these two together are finger food royalty. This pair is best to have when enjoying a movie or spending time with friends. The best part is eating it with your hands.

Pasta - Chicken naturally goes well with pasta, so it’s no surprise that some people also have their spicy wings with it. Having them together also leaves me feeling very content after every meal.

Garden Salads - The kick from the buffalo wings is such a good complement to the refreshing taste of the greens in your salad. What I like the best is that this pair packs the nutrients in every bite. For those who aren’t fans of leafy ones, any kind of salad will also do.

Drinks - In Davao, delicious buffalo wings are almost always ordered alongside the group’s favorite bucket of drinks. I think this is true for most parts of the country. It’s totally okay to have some sauce sticking on your chin as long as everyone’s having a good time in a get-together or winding down with a couple of friends with their trusted bottle of beer. 

Whether prepared at home for that 100% lutong bahay feel or ordered online for fast craving satisfactions, spicy buffalo wings can go with almost anything. When ordering online, I find it best to get it from a place with a wide range in their menu. Recently I’ve been trying out Xpress Eats, which recently added buffalo wings to their menu. Since their menu is always expanding, I also try the wings out with other choices to see what else it can go with. You can easily grab one on their website too.
