Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15-16-ounce) can whole unpitted purple plums
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 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)

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.
