Affordabest Meals

different flavored chicken wings and sisiglicious

Menu board

When it comes to cleanliness, we would consider several factor like freshness of ingredients and handling of foods. Some of the dishes are deeply guarded specialties. while others are self taught recipes commonly seen in cook books, youtube or blogging sites.

Chicken Buffalo Wings

Chicken Buffalo Wings– This is best paired with rice. It had the right amount of sweetness and a little kick of spiciness. The chicken coated with batter then deep fried before a glaze is added. One of the best chicken wings in this side of the city.

Hidden Wings Super Spicy – I personally like the super spicy version ( but not too spicy for my taste buds). This is good pairing with beer or any ice cold drinks.

Hidden Wings Garlic Parmesan

Hidden Wings Garlic Parmesan – The fried chicken wings were coated with a nice combination of garlic flavor and parmesan cheeese. It does not have strong garlic after taste. It also had good balance of salty and one can still savor the taste and smell of parmesan cheese.
