Oh my, these are really good hot lemon chicken wings. We dipped them twice and they had a medium heat which we enjoyed. The lemon juice, along with seasonings, is a delicious alternative to traditional Buffalo wings. Great for snacking on while watching football. I made this recipe about a good 35 yrs ago. There is a story behind it... I was living in Ithaca, NY and next door to me were a bunch of frat boys from Cornell U that would ask me to cook things for their parties. Once it was the hottest chili they could get and they got it too! This time they wanted Hot chicken wings but not the norm, ie: Buffalo hot wings. So I mixed the hot sauce with the lemon herb recipe that I had and it was an amazingly HUGE hit with the frat boys who asked for this dish numerous times. Those in my family that love hot wings love this recipe too!
Ingredients :

Intructions :

- place about 6 wings in the sauce. Stir around a bit. Spoon out to lay on the cookie sheet with parchment paper in a single layer. They can be as close together as you like.
- NOTE: Depending on how that you want your wings... keep in mind the following:Dip once for mildDip twice for mediumDip 3 or more times for HOT
- Once you are finished deep-frying your wings and all the wings are on your cookie sheet
- you can spoon additional sauce over the wings on the cookie sheet and place it in the oven preheated to 350 degrees for 5 to 10 minutes. Enjoy!

- try smoking the wings first instead. OMG
