    First, let's deal with the chicken legs. Wash three chicken drumsticks repeatedly, then add cooking wine and light soy sauce, shredded green onions, and shredded ginger, and mix well. Marinate for more than half an hour for better appearance, or you can put them in a sealed bag and marinate overnight.

    While steaming the chicken drumsticks, prepare a sauce by putting minced garlic, chili powder, and white sesame seeds into a bowl. Heat an appropriate amount of oil in a pan until it smokes, then pour it into the bowl to release the aroma. Add a suitable amount of light soy sauce, oyster sauce, white vinegar, salt, and sugar, and mix well to set aside.
