Sweet-and-Sour Drumettes

Sweet-and-Sour Drumettes

2 pounds chicken drumettes (ask your butcher to cut them for you)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup French dressing
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
Dash of hot sauce (optional)

METHOD:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown chicken in batches (don't overcrowd the pan), about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer drumettes to a baking dish. Then combine butter, barbecue sauce, dressing, vinegar, and hot sauce. Microwave until butter is melted. Stir. Pour sauce over chicken, and toss to coat evenly. Bake for 15 minutes.
