- 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix gochujang, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and black pepper to make the marinade.
- Marinate the chicken thighs in this mixture for at least one hour or overnight in the refrigerator.
- While marinating, prepare the crispy slaw by combining cabbage and carrots in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and lime juice; add to the cabbage mix and toss well.
- Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook marinated chicken for about 6–7 minutes per side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Toast the burger buns until golden brown. Assemble each sandwich by placing sliced chicken on the bun’s bottom half and topping generously with crispy slaw.
