Place your wings in a large mixing bowl and add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne. Mix well and leave the wings to marinate for 3 hours, or overnight for best results.
Fry the chicken wings in batches with similar sized pieces until brown, crispy and cooked through. Cooking times will vary depending on the size of your wings, test with a meat thermometer or cut into the largest one to check.
In a large heatproof bowl, add the melted butter, parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic powder, and additional salt, if using.
1/3 cup butter, 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon parsley, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, salt
Toss the cooked wings into the buttery-parmesan mixture and serve immediately.
