Ingredients

 * 1 kilo chicken wings
 * 1 tsp. spice rub
 * 1 tsp. onion powder
 * 1 tsp. garlic powder
 * ¼ cup margarine or (1 cup butter)
 * ¼ cup hot sauce
 * ½ cup banana ketchup

 * ½ tsp. salt
 * ½ tsp. pepper, black or red only
 * 5 tbsp. calamansi juice, reserving 2 tablespoons for the sauce

Directions

 * 1) Wash the chicken wings. Drain any excess water from the washed chicken, then coat them with calamansi juice, salt, spice rub, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper.
 * 2) Marinate for at least 1 hour for the best result.
 * 3) In a deep-frying pan, heat some cooking oil, just enough to cover the chicken wings while deep frying.
 * 4) Coat the chicken wings with cornstarch before frying. You can use a strong plastic bag then shake and coat the chicken with cornstarch. Then deep fry the chicken wings until golden brown.
 * 5) Drain the excess oil in a strainer or with a paper towel.
 * 6) In a saucepan, melt the margarine or butter and add with the hot sauce, the remaining calamansi juice, and banana ketchup. Mix very well and simmer for a few seconds.
 * 7) Add to the fried chicken wings and stir-fry until each has been well coated with the sauce. Serve hot and plain but garnish with the chopped parsley.
