What Are Bonchon Drumsticks?

The Meatier Choice

Bonchon Drumsticks are the meatier, more filling alternative to wings. Each piece is hand-battered, double-fried twice using Bonchon's signature Korean technique, and then hand-brushed with your chosen sauce — not dipped, not poured, but brushed individually so every inch of the crispy exterior gets coated evenly.

Compared to wings, drumsticks offer more meat per piece and a different sauce experience. Because of the steam inside the larger cut, bold sauces like Spicy and Soy Garlic penetrate deeper into the surface, making each bite more intensely flavored. If you are ordering for one person who wants a filling meal, or for a group that wants something meatier than wings, drumsticks are the right call.

Every order comes with a complimentary side of Pickled Radish or Coleslaw — a Korean tradition that helps cut through the richness of the fried chicken and refresh your palate between bites.

Pro Tip: If you are ordering for 2 people, the Medium (10 pcs) at $28.28 works out to $2.83 per drumstick — better value than buying two Smalls at $14.95 each.

Sauce Options

5 Sauces Available

You choose your sauce when ordering. Half & Half is available — pick two sauces and get them split across your order. For drumsticks, Soy Garlic and Spicy are the two most popular choices.

Soy Garlic
Savory, slightly sweet, umami. #1 best seller.
Spicy
Korean chili — slow burn with bold flavor.
Korean BBQ
Smoky, sweet, tangy finish. Great for all ages.
Yangnyeom
Sweet, garlicky, traditional Korean sauce.
Classic Crunch
No sauce — pure crispy fried chicken.
Half & Half Tip: Order Soy Garlic + Spicy together. It is the most popular combination at Bonchon — the garlic balances the heat perfectly.
Why Bonchon Is Different

The Double-Fry Process

Most fried chicken is fried once. Bonchon fries every piece twice — and that extra step is the entire reason the skin stays crispy for longer than any other restaurant-style fried chicken you have had.

1
✍️
Hand-Battered
Each drumstick individually coated in thin, light batter for the ideal crisp-to-meat ratio.
2
🔥
First Fry
The first fry cooks the chicken through, sealing in all the juices and moisture inside.
3
Second Fry
The second fry crisps the batter to its signature shatter-crunch without drying the meat.
4
🖌️
Hand-Brushed
Every nook is brushed — not dipped — so sauce coats evenly without making skin soggy.
