For extra crispy wings, double fry them! Fry them once as directed, let them cool slightly, and then fry them again for a minute or two before tossing in the sauce. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preference. For a milder flavor, use less hot sauce or a milder variety. If you don't have dry onion soup mix, you can substitute with 1 tablespoon of onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of celery salt. Baking or grilling are excellent alternatives to frying. Bake the wings at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 30-40 minutes, or grill over medium heat for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and crispy.

Follow The Directions
01
StepHeat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large, high-sided saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepCarefully fry chicken wings in the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding, until golden brown and cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes per batch. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer the fried chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil and allow to cool slightly. (Cook time: 20-30 minutes)
03
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together the melted margarine, hot sauce, chopped garlic, dry onion soup mix, lemon juice, and dried basil until well combined and smooth. This creates a concentrated, flavorful sauce. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
04
StepPlace the fried chicken wings into a large resealable bag. Pour the prepared sauce over the wings, seal the bag tightly, and shake well to ensure every wing is thoroughly coated in the delicious sauce. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
05
StepSpread the sauced wings in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until the sauce has baked onto the chicken and is slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. This final baking step melds the flavors together beautifully. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
