Asian Chicken Drummies

 

1

package (3 pounds) frozen chicken drummettes, thawed

3

tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

1/4

cup all-purpose flour

1/3

cup hoisin sauce

2

tablespoons oriental chili-garlic sauce or chili puree with garlic

• 1 Heat oven to 450°. Pat excess moisture from thawed drummettes, using paper towels; place drummettes in large bowl. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the melted butter over drummettes. Sprinkle with flour; toss to mix. (Mixture will be crumbly.)
• 2 Arrange drummettes in single layer in ungreased rectangular pan, 15 1/2x10 1/2x1 inch. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until crisp and brown.
• 3 Transfer browned drummettes to 4- to 6-quart slow cooker, using slotted spoon. Mix remaining 1 tablespoon butter, the hoisin sauce and chili-garlic sauce. Pour over drummettes; toss lightly to coat.
• 4 Cover and cook on low heat setting 1 to 2 hours or until juice of drummettes is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut. Drummettes will hold on low heat setting up to 2 hours.
