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 garlic, minced
  • 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. In a medium bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
  2. Place the chicken thighs into a resealable plastic bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over them, ensuring they’re fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the shredded cabbage and julienned carrots. Set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, and sriracha (if using). Pour this dressing over the cabbage and carrots, tossing until evenly coated.
  5. Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add a touch of oil to coat the surface.
  6. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until charred and cooked through, reaching 165°F (75°C).
  7. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
  8. Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
  9. Assemble the sandwiches by placing sliced chicken on the bottom half of each bun, topping with crispy slaw, fresh cilantro, and sesame seeds.
  10. Finish with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.

Notes

For optimal flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. Adjust spice levels by modifying gochujang or sriracha amounts.
