Meanwhile, stir together ketchup, chili sauce, 1/2 cup honey, water, lime juice and zest, garlic, ginger and pepper. Pour over browned chicken and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until chicken is tender, 25-30 minutes. Remove chicken and bring sauce back to a simmer; cook until thick, about 5 minutes.

Top with remaining cheese; replace bun tops. Stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, remaining 2 tablespoons honey and the red pepper flakes. Brush over bun tops. Sprinkle with the coarse salt if desired.
