- 1/4 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Gochujang
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil

Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, gochujang, honey, brown sugar, sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to make the marinade.
- Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and let them soak for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking
- Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest.
- While the chicken is resting, prepare the slaw by finely shredding the cabbage and carrots. Mince the garlic and ginger, then mix into the slaw.

Assembly
- Assemble the sandwiches by spreading mayonnaise on the toasted buns, adding the shredded slaw, and then placing the sliced BBQ chicken on top. Serve immediately.
Notes
Marinate chicken thighs for at least 30 minutes or overnight for deeper flavor. Serve hot and keep napkins close for the messiness!
