Cooking and Assembly
- Pat the chicken thighs dry, then toss them with olive oil and kosher salt. Sear on a preheated grill pan over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes per side until charred and cooked through.
- In a small saucepan, simmer the honey, chopped chipotle peppers, ketchup, and apple cider vinegar over medium-low heat until it forms a thick, glossy dark red-orange sauce. Coat the cooked chicken in the glaze.
- Whisk 1/4 cup mayonnaise and sugar together in a bowl. Add the shredded green and purple cabbage, tossing until completely coated in the creamy white dressing.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1/3 cup mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Stir until it forms a thick, opaque white drizzle.
- Lightly toast the bottom halves of the brioche buns. Top each with a piece of glazed chicken, a dollop of crunchy slaw, and a drizzle of the garlic sauce. Brush the top buns with melted butter and gently place them on top to glisten.
Notes
Store leftover chicken and sauces in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Adjust the spice level by removing the seeds from the chipotle peppers before mincing.
