A delightful sandwich featuring marinated chicken thighs infused with Korean flavors, topped with crispy slaw and zesty dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 4 cloves, minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 burger buns (preferably brioche)
  • 1 cup green cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (optional for extra heat)
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Oil for cooking (canola or vegetable)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the marinade by combining gochujang, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and black pepper in a medium bowl.
  2. Marinate the chicken by placing it in a resealable bag or bowl, pouring the marinade over it, and ensuring it’s fully coated. Seal and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight.
  3. Prepare the crispy slaw by mixing the shredded cabbage and julienned carrots in a large bowl.
  4. Make the slaw dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, lime juice, and sriracha in a small bowl. Pour over the cabbage and carrots, tossing until evenly coated, and set aside.
  5. Grill the chicken on a preheated grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil for about 6-7 minutes per side or until cooked through.
  6. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
  7. Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
  8. Assemble the sandwiches by placing sliced chicken on the bottom half of each toasted bun, adding crispy slaw on top, and sprinkling with fresh cilantro and sesame seeds.
  9. Close the sandwiches with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. Feel free to substitute chicken thighs for tofu or portobello mushrooms for a vegetarian option.
