Description

Savor the unique flavors of Korea in a delicious sandwich! This Korean BBQ Chicken Sandwich with Cabbage Slaw offers a fiery twist on comfort food, marrying tender marinated chicken with a crunchy slaw for the perfect bite.

Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/2 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons gochujang
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

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, gochujang, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create a marinade.
Add chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they’re thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for best flavor).
Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and discard the remaining marinade.
Grill or bake the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
While the chicken rests, prepare the cabbage slaw by mixing shredded cabbage, toasted sesame seeds, and sliced green onions in a bowl.
To assemble, place sliced chicken on a sandwich bun and top with cabbage slaw. Serve immediately.

Notes

This sandwich pairs perfectly with a side of sweet potato fries for a complete meal. Adjust the amount of gochujang based on your spice preference.
