Buldak-Style Barbecue Chicken Drumsticks image

Buldak-"fire chicken" in Korean-is dressed in a sweet, savory, spicy sauce made with gochugaru and gochujang. Here the sauce is used on chicken drumsticks.

Provided by Susan Kim

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

⅔ cup gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
½ cup soy sauce
⅓ cup brown rice vinegar or unseasoned rice vinegar
⅓ cup sugar
¼ cup fish sauce
¼ cup gochugaru (coarse Korean red pepper powder)
¼ cup grapeseed or vegetable oil, plus more for grill
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
3 Tbsp. toasted sesame oil
2 Tbsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 Tbsp. plus ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt
2 Tbsp. ground coriander
2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
12 large chicken drumsticks (about 3 lb.)
Steamed white rice (for serving)

Steps:

  • Whisk ⅔ cup gochujang, ½ cup soy sauce, ⅓ cup brown rice vinegar or unseasoned rice vinegar, ⅓ cup sugar, ¼ cup fish sauce, ¼ cup gochugaru, ¼ cup grapeseed or vegetable oil, ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce, 3 Tbsp. toasted sesame oil, 2 Tbsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 Tbsp. plus ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt, 2 Tbsp. ground coriander, and 2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl to combine. Reserve and refrigerate ½ cup buldak sauce for basting.
  • Place 12 large chicken drumsticks (about 3 lb.) in a large resealable plastic bag and pour in remaining buldak sauce. Seal bag and chill at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours.
  • Prepare a grill for high indirect heat (for a gas grill, leave 1 or 2 burners off; for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side); oil grate. Remove drumsticks from sauce, letting excess drip back into bag, and arrange over indirect heat; transfer sauce to a clean small bowl. Cover grill and grill drumsticks (this is a low-and-slow heat situation), brushing with reserved sauce and turning every 5 minutes or so, until sticky, well-coated, and cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken and avoiding bone should register 165°), 30-40 minutes.
  • Transfer drumsticks to a platter and serve with copious amounts of steamed white rice. Do ahead: Buldak sauce can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.

Tips:

  • To ensure your croissants are flaky and light, use cold butter and work it into the dough quickly. Avoid overworking the dough, as this can make it tough.
  • If you don't have time to make the dough from scratch, you can use store-bought puff pastry. Just be sure to thaw it according to the package directions before using.
  • For a more flavorful filling, use a combination of cooked chicken, vegetables, and herbs. You can also add cheese or cream sauce for a richer flavor.
  • To make sure your croissants are cooked through, bake them until they are golden brown and the filling is heated through. You can also use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Conclusion:

Chicken and rice croissants are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a flaky, flavorful croissant that is sure to please everyone at the table.
