Prepare the ingredients for the chicken wings.

Cut and clean 2 pounds of chicken wings.

Measure out 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil and 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Add 2 tablespoons of onion powder and 2 tablespoons of hot sauce to the chicken wings.

Remove cayenne pepper from the recipe and use hot sauce instead.

Measure out 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning, 1 tablespoon of paprika, 2 tablespoons of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl for the seasoning mixture.

Add the 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the chicken wings and mix well.

Sprinkle about 3 tablespoons of the seasoning mixture over the chicken and mix to coat evenly.

Set the seasoned chicken aside.

In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder.

Add the remaining seasoning mixture to the flour and mix well.

Prepare the sauce by heating 2 tablespoons of hot sauce, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1/3 cup of honey in a saucepan over medium heat.

Add 2 tablespoons of Old Bay seasoning to the sauce and mix.

Bring the sauce to a slight bubble, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 2 minutes.

Turn off the heat and transfer the sauce to a bowl.

Prepare the frying oil and heat it up.

Coat the chicken wings in the seasoned flour mixture.

Fry the wings in batches for about 7 to 10 minutes, or until they float to the top and are golden brown.

Remove the wings from the oil and place them in a bowl.
