Ingredients
2poundschicken drumsticks8 drumsticks, patted dry with paper towels
Whisk the marinade ingredients together in a small mixing bowl.
Place the marinade and chicken drumsticks together in a large resealable plastic bag. Massage the bag so the drumsticks are well coated with marinade.
Place the bag in a bowl or other container to protect against leaks. Let the drumsticks marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
Place a slow cooker liner in a large slow cooker (optional).
Using tongs, remove the chicken from the marinade. Pull the chicken skin up over each drumstick. Stack drumsticks in the slow cooker skin side up. Discard the remaining marinade.
Cook the drumsticks in the slow cooker on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours, to an internal temperature of 180 degrees.
While the chicken is cooking, make the Korean BBQ sauce. Place all the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan.
Cook over medium heat, whisking until the mixture comes to a boil. Simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Once the chicken is done to an internal temperature of 180 degrees, use tongs to carefully remove the chicken drumsticks from the crockpot.
Place the drumsticks skin side up on a broiler pan. Broil for 2-4 minutes, until the chicken is just beginning to char.
Brush the drumsticks with Korean BBQ sauce. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions.
