# How to Make:

01 - Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, gochujang, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, and black pepper in a bowl until well combined.

02 - Add chicken thighs to the marinade, turning to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for deeper flavor penetration.

03 - While chicken marinates, shred the carrots and cabbage, slice the cucumber and avocado, and thinly slice the green onions. Cook rice if not already prepared.

04 - Combine mayonnaise, gochujang, rice vinegar, and honey in a small bowl. Mix until completely smooth and homogeneous. Set aside for serving.

05 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken thighs for 5-6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and exterior develops charred marks. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

06 - Divide cooked rice evenly among four serving bowls. Arrange sliced BBQ chicken, shredded carrots, cucumber, purple cabbage, and avocado on top of rice.

07 - Drizzle generously with gochujang mayo, then sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately while chicken is warm.

# Helpful Tips:

01 -

The sweet and savory Korean BBQ marinade creates incredibly juicy, flavorful chicken that youll want to put on everything
These bowls are perfectly balanced with fresh crunchy vegetables, creamy avocado, and that spicy gochujang mayo tying it all together

02 -

Do not skip resting the chicken after it cooks, those juices need time to redistribute or you will lose all that wonderful marinade flavor
Slice the chicken against the grain for the most tender bites, it makes a bigger difference than you would think

03 -

Pat the chicken dry before adding it to the marinade so the sauce actually sticks and creates that gorgeous caramelized exterior
Let your grilled chicken rest for those full 5 minutes, I know it is hard to wait but it makes such a difference in juiciness
