Season the chicken wings with 1 teaspoon of salt, 3/4 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1.5 teaspoons of garlic powder. Mix well to coat the wings evenly.

Melt 1 stick of butter in a saucepan over low heat.

Add 10 teaspoons of minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté until fragrant.

Stir in 1.5 tablespoons of garlic hot sauce and a pinch of red chili flakes into the butter mixture.

Reduce the heat to avoid drying out the mixture and add 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese, adjusting to taste, and mix well.

Pour the garlic butter sauce into a bowl and set aside.

Heat oil in a fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the chicken wings in the hot oil until they float to the top, approximately 7 to 10 minutes.

Remove the fried wings from the oil and place them in a bowl.

Pour the garlic butter sauce over the fried wings and mix well to coat them evenly.

Serve the garlic butter wings on a plate and enjoy.
