The Lunar New Year (CNY) is usually synonymous with long hours in the kitchen, hovering over steaming pots and intricate platters. But this year, I’m leaning into a secret that combines festive indulgence with total ease. As Farmpride rolls out its refreshed brand campaign, they are putting a spotlight on a local legend: their halal-certified Buffalo Wings.

It isn’t just about a new look, though the vibrant updated visuals certainly catch the eye. It’s about that specific kind of joy that comes from sharing a massive plate of bold, crave-worthy food with the people you love.

My Personal Spicy Secret

I’ll be honest, I’ve already done a few “test runs” with these drumlets, and they are spectacular. There is something incredibly satisfying about the balance of tang and heat right out of the oven.

However, because I’m a bit of a heat-seeker, I’ve developed a ritual: I love drizzling the hot drumlets extra chili oil and a generous sprinkle of chili flakes. It adds this gorgeous, shimmering coat and a layered burst of spice that lingers just long enough.

Effortless Hosting

If you’re looking to break away from the traditional heavy courses, these wings make for an unexpectedly perfect meal. I recently served them alongside a loaf of crusty baguette, perfect for mopping up any leftover sauce, and a crisp, zesty garden salad to cut through the richness. It’s simple, soulful, and lets you actually spend time at the table rather than at the stove.

Where to Stock Up

Whether you’re planning a cozy night in or a loud, chaotic gathering with the extended family, these wings are the ultimate “crowd-pleaser” shortcut. You can find Farmpride’s Buffalo Wings at all the usual spots: FairPrice & FairPrice Finest, Sheng Siong, Cold Storage & CS Fresh, Giant, and Prime Supermarket.

This CNY, let’s focus on the connection and the crunch. After all, the best memories are usually made over a shared plate of drumlets and a little bit of spicy chaos.
