1

Heat oven to 375ºF. Mix all ingredients except chicken. Place chicken in ungreased jelly roll pan, 15 1/2x10 1/2x1 inch. Pour syrup mixture over chicken; turn chicken to coat.

Bake uncovered 45 to 55 minutes, turning once and brushing with sauce after 30 minutes, until juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut. Serve chicken with sauce.

Marinate the drummettes in the maple syrup mixture in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour for extra flavor, using a resealable plastic food-storage bag for ease. Bake as directed.
Serve the drummettes with blue cheese dressing or chili sauce.
