Heat oil in a deep pot to about 325-350°F, using a thermometer to check the temperature.

Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.

Carefully add chicken wings to the hot oil, laying them away from yourself to avoid splashes.

Fry wings for about 8 to 10 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.

Remove wings from the oil and place them on a baking rack.

In a separate pot, combine half of the 32 oz hot sauce with 1 stick of butter and a clove of garlic, heating until the butter melts and the sauce is warm.

Add a little salt to the sauce if desired, but be cautious since the hot sauce is already salty.

Once wings are fried, toss them in the buffalo sauce mixture until well coated.

Serve the wings immediately.
