  • 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
For the Slaw
  • 1 cup green cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • ΒΌ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (optional for extra heat)
For Serving

Garnishes

Equipment

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and black pepper. Mix well.
  2. Add chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Heat oil in a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked.
  4. While the chicken cooks, prepare the slaw by combining cabbage, carrots, mayonnaise, lime juice, and sriracha in a bowl. Mix well.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  6. Assemble the sandwiches by placing sliced chicken on the buns, topping with the crispy slaw, cilantro, and sesame seeds.
