Ingredients

vegetable oil for frying
2 pounds chicken wing pieces
0.25 cup margarine, melted
0.25 cup hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot ®)
6 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 pinch dried basil

Instructions

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Fry chicken in the hot oil, working in batches, until fully cooked and crispy on the outside, approximately 10 to 15 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon and let cool slightly.
Stir margarine, hot sauce, garlic, onion soup mix, lemon juice, and basil together in a bowl until the sauce reaches a smooth consistency.
Place chicken in a large resealable bag, pour in the sauce, seal the bag tightly, and shake well to ensure the wings are fully coated. Spread the coated wings evenly onto a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until the sauce is nicely baked onto the chicken wings, around 5 minutes.
