Notes

Pat the wings dry for maximum crispiness: Removing excess moisture helps the wings fry perfectly and allows the garlic butter to cling.
Fry in batches for even cooking: Keeping the oil at a steady temperature ensures each wing cooks golden and crisp.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor: It melts evenly and gives a rich, authentic taste.
Toss wings immediately in the garlic butter: Coating them while hot locks in flavor and ensures every bite is savory.
Watch the garlic carefully when melting in butter: Prevent it from burning to avoid a bitter taste.
