Creating Sweet Soy Kalbi Chicken Drumsticks is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, sesame oil, black pepper, and grated ginger. Whisk until well combined.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken drumsticks in a large resealable bag or bowl and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each drumstick is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor).
3. Preheat the Oven: If baking, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
4. Arrange the Drumsticks: Remove the drumsticks from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or in a greased baking dish.
5. Bake or Grill:
– Baking: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
– Grilling: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and grill the drumsticks for about 25-30 minutes, turning frequently, until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
6. Glaze the Drumsticks: Use the reserved marinade (boil it for safety) to brush over the drumsticks during the last 5 minutes of cooking for an extra layer of flavor.
7. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the heat. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
