A flavorful Korean BBQ Chicken Sandwich featuring juicy, marinated chicken breasts grilled to perfection and topped with a zesty, crunchy cabbage slaw. This perfect balance of sweet, savory, and fresh flavors makes for a delicious and satisfying meal ideal for any occasion.
Ingredients
For the chicken:
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp gochujang
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
For the slaw:
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
For assembly:
- 4 burger buns
- Butter (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, and minced garlic until well combined to create a flavorful marinade for the chicken.
- Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 20 to 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a pan or grill over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked through and juices run clear.
- Prepare the slaw: In a separate bowl, combine shredded cabbage, mayonnaise, rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the cabbage is evenly coated in a tangy and slightly sweet dressing.
- Toast the buns: Optionally, lightly butter the burger buns and toast them on a pan or grill until golden brown for added texture and flavor.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Layer the cooked Korean BBQ chicken on the bottom half of each bun, top with a generous amount of cabbage slaw, and place the top bun over to complete the sandwich.
- Serve immediately: Serve the sandwiches fresh and enjoy the mouthwatering combination of sweet, spicy chicken with crunchy zesty slaw.
Notes
- Add pickles or cheese for variation to personalize the sandwich.
- Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for a juicier texture.
