This recipe has been passed down for generations and is a staple at many family gatherings and BBQs. The combination of honey and vinegar in the recipe creates a sweet and tangy glaze on the chicken, making it a crowd-pleaser.

3.	Stir in the honey and white vinegar until well combined.
4.	In a separate, shallow dish, mix together the flour, poultry seasoning, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper.
5.	Dip each chicken piece into the flour mixture, making sure to coat well.
6.	Carefully place the chicken pieces in the hot oil and cook until golden brown, turning once, about 12-15 minutes.
7.	Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until cooked through, about 20-25 minutes. Serve immediately.
