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.
Watch the video where I walk you through every step of this recipe giving you a visual to go along with your cooking. I’ve even got some great tips for prepping chicken drumsticks. I have a whole YouTube Channel full of cooking videos for your drooling pleasure!
hello, I just made your recipe with some variations since I didn’t have all the ingredients, congratulations indeed, it’s a fabulous recipe, one of the best I’ve tried !!! I will continue to follow you
The sauce doesn’t soak very well into the chicken so it tastes somewhat bland. I’d recommend marinating the chicken first.
Looks great.. has anyone tried grilling this recipe? Just curious.. I want to make it, but if I could avoid turning on the oven it would be awesome!
Made this tonight, exactly as the recipe called for. Served it over white rice. It was a huge hit and it is being added to our rotation LOL. Takes a very impressive photo on a white serving platter btw—good for making distant family & friends jealous!
I have made these several times for weeknight dinner or pot luck gathering. Always a hit b/c the Korean glaze is so delicious. I do use coco aminos instead of soy sauce. Also instead of the brown sugar, I use apricot simply fruit spread. I start my chicken in a pan to get color on it first and then top with the glaze and bake. Thank you.
Very tasty! I may or may not have eaten the leftover sauce with a spoon….
Was absolutely finger licking good ! So good and simple to make . I didn’t have rice vinegar so I used apple cider vinegar instead but other than that this is something I’ll probably make a million times again
Absolutely delicious!!! I poured all the sauce over the drumsticks and baked it in my ninja foodi grill for about 20 minutes. Best chicken I ever had
Rachel, I have tried so many of your recipes and each and every one has been delicious! This Korean Chicken is out of the box on flavor and presentation. I use chicken tenders instead of the drumsticks and do it right on the stove top. I serve it over rice and add a salad or green vegetable. My family loves it so much it has become an at least once a week dish! Thank you so much for all you bring to us! This is perfect for working moms!
It looked good, so I cooked it and I loved it and my son did too.
