Step By Step
- Thaw frozen pre-cooked drumsticks in the refrigerator overnight or submerge in hot water bath for 5 min. If using a hot water bath make sure to dry off excess water before frying.
- Add 1-2 quarts of Safflower oil (or other high smoke point oil of choice) to a pot and heat to 375 f making sure that the oil stays below the middle of the pot.
- Carefully drop one by one the drumsticks in the oil, being mindful of not overcrowding.
- Fry for 3 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove drumsticks from the oil using a heat-resistant spatula or fry skimmer and set aside to drain excess oil.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, stir together the soy sauce, sugar, gochujang, rice vinegar, and garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Simmer, stirring often, for about 3 minutes or until slightly thickened.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water. Add to the saucepan and stir to combine. Simmer for another 2 minutes, then remove from the heat.
- Place the drumsticks in a bowl and drizzle the sauce on top. Toss to coat.
- Serve hot with sesame seeds and chopped green onion on top!
