Ingredients
  • 2/3 cup korean chile paste
  • 1/4 cup sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup mirin
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup agave syrup
  • 2 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon smoked sea salt
  • 2 tablespoon old bay
  • 2 cup light beer
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 5 pound chicken, drum sticks
  • scallions, sliced, for garnish
Directions
  1. Place all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are combined and set aside.
  2. Pre heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  3. Mix together water, soy sauce, salt, old bay, beer, and garlic. Place chicken drums in a 6 quart oven safe pot and cover with liquid mixture. Cover the pan with foil and top with the lid.
  4. Place pan in a 350 degree F oven and braise for about 80 minutes, check for doneness. Chicken should be cooked through. Remove the chicken from the liquid and spread out on a pan. Cool thoroughly in the refrigerator, about 2 hours. Meat must be completely cooled before cutting or the drums will fall apart.
  5. Cut off the end of the fat side chicken drum to make a flat surface for the drum to stand on. Then make a circular cut around the bone about 2 ½ inches from the narrow end and pull upwards to remove skin and excess meat from the bone.
  6. To finish: Glaze drums with Spicy Drum Sauce and Roast in a 375 degree oven for 15 minutes. For spicier drums glaze a second time after cooking. Garnish with sliced scallions if desired.
