The best Chicken Wings with Semi-Homemade Plum Sauce recipe you will ever find. Fire up the sauce by adding 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper to the plum mixture before cooking.
1 tablespoon frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
16 chicken drummettes (2 pounds)
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the broiler. For sauce, drain plums, reserving liquid. Pit plums. In a food processor or blender combine pitted plums, reserved plum liquid, hoisin sauce, orange juice concentrate, soy sauce, ginger, and pepper. Cover and process or blend until nearly smooth.
Transfer plum mixture to a saucepan. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for about 15 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
Place drummettes in a single layer on the rack of an unheated broiler pan. Broil 5 to 6 inches from the heat for 8 minutes. Brush with sauce. Turn and brush again. Broil for 6 to 8 minutes or until tender and no longer pink.
In a small saucepan bring remaining sauce to boiling. Transfer to a small bowl. Arrange drummettes on a serving plate. If desired, sprinkle drummettes with sesame seeds. Serve drummettes with sauce.
Notes
Make-ahead directions: Cover and chill plum sauce for up to 3 days before using.
