  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, gochujang, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
  2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade. Ensure they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight for more flavor).
  3. In another mixing bowl, combine shredded green cabbage, shredded red cabbage, julienned carrot, mayonnaise, rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is evenly mixed. Set aside.
  4. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and caramelized. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  5. Toast brioche or potato buns with butter on a skillet until golden. Place sliced chicken on the bottom half of each bun. Top generously with cabbage slaw before placing the top half of the bun on each sandwich.
