For the Teriyaki Chicken and Slaw

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic. Add chicken thighs and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Discard the marinade.

  3. 3

    Make Teriyaki Sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine the remaining marinade with cornstarch and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, carrot, rice vinegar, and mayonnaise. Toss until well combined.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place grilled chicken on toasted bun, drizzle with teriyaki sauce, top with slaw, sesame seeds, and sliced green onions. Close the sandwich and serve.
