Clean chicken wings with lemon juice, salt, and cold water, then pat dry with paper towels.

Chop the chicken wings at the joint to separate into drumsticks and flats, discarding the tips or saving them for broth.

Season the wings with a generous amount of black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder, and add soy sauce instead of salt.

Mix the seasonings into the wings using hands to ensure they are well coated.

Let the seasoned wings sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to relax before cooking.

Chop the garlic cloves finely after removing the skins.

Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan and cook the garlic until golden brown, being careful not to burn it.

Add one full stick of butter to the garlic to calm it down and prevent burning.

Heat oil in a separate pan until hot, then add the chicken wings, ensuring they sizzle upon contact.

Fry the wings until they achieve a deep mahogany color, flipping them to brown both sides evenly.
