Baked Gochujang Chicken Drumsticks

I do run out of ideas sometimes on what to cook or there are times that I am too lazy too cook and I just want something quick and easy to prepare. The roasted gochujang chicken drumsticks have been a safe bet for days like these. They are so simple to prepare and they taste super good. If you like spicy and salty food, this will be the dish for you.

I have some potatoes cut into cubes to bake along with the chicken drumsticks, so they can suck-up the juices and marinates that released from the chicken drumsticks during the baking process. The potato cubes turned out to be flavorful, packed with the great spices and umami taste of gochujang. The chicken drumsticks paired very well with fluffy white rice too.

Let's check out the recipe. Do feel free to adjust the measurement according to your taste.

Ingredients
5 chicken drumsticks
1 tbsp of gochujang
1 tbsp of soy sauce
1 tbsp of sugar
salt and pepper to taste
pan spray or cooking oil

Optional
1 medium size potato (cut into cubes)

Directions
1. Marinate the chicken drumsticks with gochujang, soy sauce, sugar. Set aside for 1 hour.
2. Coat the baking pan with some cooking spray.
3. Arrange the chicken drumsticks in the middle of the baking pan and potato cubes at the side.
4. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on the potato cubes.
5. Bake at 185C for 30 min. Turn the drumsticks over and continue to bake with another 15min or until the drumsticks are cooked.

For better taste, you may marinate the chicken drumsticks overnight.
