Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine water, milk, and honey. Stir in instant yeast and let sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Add beaten egg and sunflower oil, mixing well. Incorporate flour, salt, and butter; knead for 10-12 minutes.
  3. Let dough rise in a warm spot for 1 hour until doubled in size.
  4. In a small bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, cayenne, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until combined.
  5. Cut chicken filets into bite-sized pieces; mix with salt, sambal oelek, soy sauce, and egg. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  6. Once dough has risen, deflate and divide into 14 pieces. Roll each piece into a rectangle, fold in half, and dip in cheese topping mix.
  7. Place buns on a parchment-lined sheet, slash tops, and let rise for 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 200°C (392°F) and bake buns for 12-15 minutes until golden.
  9. Coat chicken in cornstarch; fry in oil at 175°C (350°F) for 5-7 minutes until golden.
