    Directions:

    Add vegetable oil to a small sauce pot halfway full so that all of the wings can be completely submerged.

    Fry for 15 minutes at approximately 350 degrees.

    Drain and let the wings cool off slightly.

    Mix flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper together to create flour mixture.

    Lightly toss wings in flour mixture.

    Fry for another 12 minutes to ensure that the wings are cooked properly, pull away from the bone, and are crispy.

    Put garlic and oil in a bowl and toss until it’s coated very well.

    Place half of cheese in the bowl.

    Toss wings in bowl.

    Place wings on plate and sprinkle with remaining cheese and parsley.
