Instructions

  1. Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, gochujang, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a bowl to create the marinade.

  4. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  6. Cook the chicken on the grill or skillet for 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and caramelized (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  7. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes, then slice it into strips.
  8. Toast the brioche or potato buns in butter until golden brown.
  9. Assemble the sandwiches by placing the sliced chicken on the bottom half of each bun and topping with the zesty cabbage slaw.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
