Ingredients and Method
Ingredients
- 2 lb (2 packs) ButcherBox.ca air chilled chicken drumsticks
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp red chile pepper flakes
- 2 tsp Chinese 5 spice powder
- to taste Kosher salt
- to taste freshly ground black pepper
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced on the diagonal, for garnish
Method
- Whisk together hoisin, honey, ketchup, soy sauce, garlic and chile flakes in a medium size bowl.
- Season drumsticks all over with 5 spice powder, 1 tsp salt (or to taste) and 1/4 tsp black pepper (or to taste).
- Place chicken drumsticks in slow cooker, cover with hoisin mixture, then toss lightly to ensure well coated.
- Cook on low until the chicken is very tender when pierced with a knife (to a minimum internal temp of 165F) and the sauce is thickened slightly, approximately 4 hours. Longer is fine, as well.
- Once cooked, remove drumsticks and sauce to a bowl, garnish with chopped scallions and serve with your favourite steamed rice or cauli-rice.
- **To thicken sauce a bit more you can use cornstarch sparingly.
