While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the hot sauce, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and chili flakes. Simmer for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens.
Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and place them in a large bowl. Pour the spicy garlic sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
Transfer the coated wings back to the baking tray and broil for an additional 3-5 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
Sprinkle the wings with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy hot!
For a milder version, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper and chili flakes. You can also add a squeeze of fresh lime juice to the sauce for a tangy twist. If you prefer a smokier flavor, consider adding a dash of liquid smoke to the sauce. For those who love extra crunch, toss the wings in a mixture of almond flour and Parmesan cheese before baking.
