1 whole Beaten Egg
30 ml Sunflower Oil
600 g Flour
8 g Salt
25 g Butter
40 g Parmesan Cheese
2 g Cayenne Powder
1.5 g Onion Powder
1 g Black Pepper Powder
700 g Chicken Fillet
5 g Salt
3 g Onion Powder
3 g Garlic Powder
4 g Cayenne Powder
1.5 g Black Pepper Powder
15 g Sambal Oelek
10 ml Soy Sauce
1 whole Beaten Egg
150 g Cornstarch
2 g Salt
1.5 g Black Pepper Powder
3 g Onion Powder
120 g Mayonnaise
75 g Chili Sauce
20 g Sambal Oelek
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix lukewarm water, milk, honey, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until bubbly.
- Add the beaten egg and sunflower oil, then stir to combine.
- Mix in flour, salt, cayenne, onion powder, black pepper, butter, and Parmesan cheese. Knead for 10–12 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Meanwhile, combine chicken fillet with salt, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, black pepper, sambal oelek, soy sauce, and egg. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 14 equal pieces. Shape each into a ball, then flatten into rectangles. Brush with milk and roll in Parmesan cheese.
- Arrange on a baking tray and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden and puffed.
- In another bowl, mix cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Coat the marinated chicken evenly.
- Fry the coated chicken pieces in hot oil until golden and crispy. Drain excess oil.
- Mix mayonnaise, chili sauce, and sambal oelek to make the sauce. Toss fried chicken in this sauce.
- Slice open each baked bun and fill generously with the saucy chicken. Add extra sauce or veggies if desired.
Notes
For milder flavor, reduce sambal oelek or substitute with ketchup.
Stuff buns with mozzarella for extra cheesiness.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
Reheat in the oven at 180°C for 5–7 minutes to maintain texture.
You can bake the chicken instead of frying for a lighter option.
