Slow cooker Hoisin chicken wings or drumsticks

Yours looks so much prettier Julie 
Would never have thought to use the simmer mat inside the PC...I need it for all my gas outlets for simmering, which I'm sure can be adjusted.....but great idea Julie.

Thanks Maddy.  I used the simmer mat under the pot (have edited my post to stop confusion).  It was just so the chicken could release some of their liquid so the thick-ish sauce wouldn't burn.  I forgot to add that I skinned the drumsticks to cut down on fat.  Such simple ingredients and yet it tasted so good.

That looks fantastic Julie, certainly better than our burnt offering 

I'll give it a try this way, still with the thighs and use the same cooking times.

Wonder I made a chicken dish last week, I think it was a Suzanne Gibbs recipe called Paprika Chicken using halved thighs.  After coming to pressure only had to cook for 5 mins!    The chicken was so tender and there wasn't a lot of sauce in there either which is what prompted me to try this recipe.  The paprika chicken sauce was a bit bland though so I didn't post about it, though my DH didn't mind it.

Ahh, the penny finally dropped!   I forgot that yours was a stove top PC.
Blonde for a reason

No Maddy it was probably me.  Sometimes I don't explain myself properly

They look amazing Julie

Thankyou Amy.  Was lovely the next day for lunch too.

I'm cooking this at the moment and it smell lovely but the sauce is quite thin and very light in colour like Maddy's - we'll see what it looks like in another couple of hours.

I think I did something wrong - again. I used the hoisin recipe Julie linked to and halved it but may have put the full quantity of peanuts. The sauce has thickened up but it's more a peanut sauce rather than a hoisin. It's nice but quite rich. Will have to try a third time and see how I go
