Lay paper towels down onto a rimmed baking sheet. Add a cooling rack (one that fits the rimmed baking sheet would be best) and set aside.
Add water to a large pot and set over high heat.
Cover with a lid and when it starts boiling turn the heat down to medium and add the wings.
Cook for 8 minutes and drain from water.
Once the wings have parboiled add them to the cooling rack and pat dry.
Add wings to the refrigerator and let the wing's skin dry.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Replace the paper towels on the baking sheet pan with parchment paper or a Silpat.
Add wings to the oven and bake on one side for 20 minutes. Flip the wings and cook on the other side for 20 minutes.
Once the wings are almost done baking start the sauce.
In a large skillet melt the butter over medium heat. Add in minced garlic and sauté for a few minutes until the garlic is fragrant but do not let it burn.
Take the pan off the heat and whisk in hot sauce. Whisk the sauce until it is combined and creamy.
Add wings to the sauce and turn to coat. Serve immediately.
