Recipe: Slow Cooker Bang Bang Chicken

Ingredients:
2 lbs chicken drumsticks
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha sauce, salt and pepper.
2. Place the chicken drumsticks in the slow cooker and pour the sauce over the chicken, making sure each drumstick is coated with the sauce.
3. Cover and cook on low for 5 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Optional: If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and set aside. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the sauce in the slow cooker, then turn the heat to high and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
If you want to have crispy skin, put the drumsticks in the broiler for a few minutes before serving.
