Teriyaki Chicken Thigh Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, and sesame oil until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken thighs in a resealable bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade (discard marinade) and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sandwich

    Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each burger bun. Add shredded cabbage, then place the sliced chicken on top.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the chicken. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
