Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean fermented red chili paste)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions (thinly sliced)
  • 3 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1 medium carrot (julienned)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (for slaw)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 brioche or potato sandwich buns
  • Butter (for toasting buns)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken by whisking together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, gochujang, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until combined. Coat chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the slaw by mixing green and red cabbage, carrot, and green onions. In another bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, rice vinegar, and sugar, then toss with the cabbage mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook the chicken over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  4. Make the buns by toasting them cut-side down in butter until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Assemble the sandwiches by placing chicken on toasted buns, topping with slaw, and adding sesame seeds and green onions as desired.
  6. Serve and enjoy your freshly made Korean BBQ Chicken Sandwich!
