Liberal application of wood glue to all mating surfaces. Then clamp in place and let cure.

The cured wood glue will be stronger than the particle board the drawer is made from.

You’ll also definitely want the thickest consistency.

So be sure to ask for thick black caulk.

I’ve seen recommendations anywhere from 4" to 12".
