A quick and easy Korean BBQ sauce is the key in these Korean Glazed Chicken Drumsticks. You are going to want to put it on everything!
The tangy flavors of Korean BBQ have been sweeping the nation for years now. We absolutely love it. I think I’ve mentioned several times that my dad lived in Korea as a young adult for a couple years so I’ve grown up fascinated by Korea in general.
When my husband and I were newlyweds we lived near a Korean restaurant and loved to go to it. We were usually the only non-Koreans in the restaurant and the waitress would question our orders because usually non-Koreans stuck to a limited menu selection. We had to convince her that we really did want to go out on a limb and try some of the more exotic choices. Good times.
Well, these drumsticks aren’t exotic by any means. It’s pretty much BBQ chicken with an Asian twist in ingredients, but it is super delicious. These drumsticks are sticky and tasty and a bit spicy and they are just dang good.

Great on the grill!!
I made the recipe but cut down on thw pepper flakes. Came out fantastic. If done on the grill make sure to oil the grates. Sweet and ¹tender. A definite do again!
Wild rice on the side. Perfect!
This was so good! My 3 year olds even asked for seconds. If you’re not ok with spicy, maybe cut the red pepper flakes by half. Otherwise, so good!!
This was delicious!!! Made fried rice as a side , will definitely be making again!!!
So easy and delicious. My family loved them. Two of my kids asked that this be their special birthday meal. Will be a regular at our house!
Absolutely divine. Husband kept saying how wonderful they were. Always good.
It is delicious. I want to try more recipes like this.
I make chicken wings instead of drumsticks with this recipe and it’s soooo good. I put some of the sauce on them, bake it as the recipe says to but then I finish them in my air fryer and then when they are fully cooked I toss them in the sauce. Yummmm!
I’ve made these several times starting with this basic recipe and adding other things to our liking. Even if you follow this recipe as is, it is still full of bold flavor. Easy to make and always enjoyed.
Amazing recipe. I topped with left over sauce at 20min mark. Very good
This chicken was worth making enough to have leftovers! I do highly recommend doubling the recipe to allow enough to INJECT the drumsticks with as well before cooking it. O mylanta is it good! 5 stars.
A-freaking-mazing!!!
I boiled then pan fried some potatoes to soak up the juices and everyone had something positive to say about this meal tonight. This is a keeper.
Thanks for the recipe.
I cook for my aging parents several times a month. They aren’t very adventurous eaters but I talked them into trying these and now it’s one of their favorite meals. My husband, adult children and I love them as well. I serve them with rice and Korean cucumber salad.
