What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

These spicy-sweet wings are broiled before you add them to the crockpot to give them extra texture.
2 1/2 pounds chicken drumettes, rinsed and patted dry
1 packet (1 ounce size) Pad Thai seasoning mix
1 jar (16 ounce size) blackberry preserves
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish
Preheat broiler. Line a heavy duty baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.
In a large bowl, toss together drumettes and Pad Thai mix until chicken is thoroughly coated. Place on prepared baking sheet. Broil 6 inches from heat source for 4 to 10 minutes, turning once.
In a large bowl, combine preserves with mustard. Using tongs, coat drumettes several at a time with preserve mustard mixture. Repeat until drumettes are well coated.
Place in a 5-quart slow cooker. Pour remaining mixture over drumettes. Sprinkle with cilantro. Cover and cook on HIGH setting or 2 1/3 to 3 1/2 hours.

I couldn't find a pad Thai seasoning mix so I had to wing it (pun intended) with this recipe. I bought some pad Thai sauce and used half that and half of the blackberry preserves called for. Instead of broiling before putting in the crockpot (since there wasn't a coating to crisp up) I cooked them in the crockpot as directed, then put under the broiler just before serving. All of the taste-testers loved them even if the cooking method wasn't quite as the recipe stated to follow.
