Dough Preparation
- In a bowl, combine lukewarm water, milk, honey, and instant yeast. Mix well and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Add the beaten egg and sunflower oil to the mixture. Stir well, then add flour, salt, and butter. Knead the dough for 10-12 minutes until smooth.
- Cover and let it rise for 1 hour in a warm place until doubled in size.
Filling Preparation
- In another bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, cayenne powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Set aside.
- Cut the chicken into pieces and place in a bowl. Add salt, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne powder, black pepper, sambal oelek, soy sauce, and the beaten egg. Mix until well combined and refrigerate.
Dough Shaping
- Deflate the risen dough and divide it into 14 equal pieces (about 70 g each). Shape into balls.
- Roll each ball into a rectangle of about 15 x 13 cm (11 x 10 inch) and fold in half.
- Brush the folded dough with milk, dip one side into the Parmesan mixture, then place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Make a few slashes on top and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Baking
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and bake rolls for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Chicken Coating
- In a bowl, mix cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Coat chicken pieces in the mixture and place on parchment paper.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat (175°C, 350°F). Fry chicken until golden brown and drain on paper towels.
Assembly
- Mix mayonnaise, chili sauce, and sambal in a bowl.
- Toss fried chicken with the sauce. Fill the buns with fresh vegetables, chicken, and extra sauce to taste.
Notes
Let dough rise in a warm area for better results; consider pre-warming your oven to facilitate rising. Experiment with spice levels by adjusting the cayenne powder or adding your favorite seasonings. For a richer flavor in the dough, consider adding herbs or garlic powder.
