Ingredients:

16 chicken wings (about 3 pounds)

¾ cup bottled plum sauce

1 tablespoon butter, melted

1 teaspoon five-spice powder

slivered green onions (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut off tips of the wings; discard wing tips. Cut each wing at joint to make two pieces.

2. In a foil-lined 15x10x1-inch baking pan, arrange wing pieces in a single layer. Bake for 20 minutes. Drain well.

3. In a 3-1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker combine plum sauce, melted butter, and five-spice powder. Add chicken pieces, stirring to coat with sauce.

4. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 3 to 4 hours or on high-heat setting for 1-1/2 to 2 hours.

5. Serve immediately or keep warm, covered, on warm- or low-heat setting for up to 1 hour. If desired, sprinkle with slivered green onions.

Bon Appetit!
