These flavorful Korean BBQ Chicken Sliders are a quick and easy game day snack featuring juicy marinated chicken thighs glazed in a sweet and spicy sauce, topped with crunchy slaw and served on soft slider buns.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ pounds (680g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup (60ml) gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
  • 12 slider buns or small soft rolls (brioche recommended)
  • 1 cup shredded Napa cabbage or green cabbage
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, brown sugar, and black pepper. Add chicken thighs and toss until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, up to 2 hours.
  2. While chicken marinates, whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, and green onions. Mix mayonnaise and sriracha in a small cup if using, then toss with the veggies. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken thighs for 5-6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest a few minutes, then slice into slider-sized pieces.
  5. Return sliced chicken to the pan, pour Korean BBQ sauce over, and toss gently to coat. Cook about 2 minutes until sauce thickens and clings to chicken.
  6. Lightly toast slider buns if desired. Assemble sliders by placing glazed chicken pieces on buns, topping with slaw, and sprinkling with toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

Marinate chicken for at least 20 minutes but no longer than 2 hours to avoid texture changes. Toast buns lightly to prevent sogginess. Rest chicken before slicing to keep it juicy. Sauce can burn quickly during glazing, so watch carefully. Slaw is best prepared fresh and added just before serving.
