Squeeze lemon juice over the wings.

Add salt and a bunch of garlic to the wings.

Mix the wings with the lemon, salt, and garlic.

Let the wings brine for a couple of hours, ideally 24 hours.

Make the dry rub by mixing onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, dried parsley, crushed red pepper, sugar, and grated cheese.

Heat oil for frying and test the oil temperature.

Once the oil is hot, add the wings one by one to the oil.

Fry the wings until cooked, then remove them from the oil.

Immediately toss the fried wings with the dry rub to ensure it adheres.

Plate the wings and serve.
