Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 75 ml water
  • 200 ml milk
  • 15 g honey
  • 9 g instant yeast
  • 1 egg
  • 30 ml sunflower oil
  • 600 g flour
  • 8 g salt
  • 25 g butter

Topping

  • 40 g Parmesan cheese
  • 2 g cayenne powder
  • 1.5 g onion powder
  • 1 g black pepper powder

Chicken Mixture

  • 700 g chicken filet
  • 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 egg

Extra

  • Milk (for brushing)

Cornstarch Mixture

  • 150 g cornstarch
  • 2 g salt
  • 1.5 g black pepper powder
  • 3 g onion powder

Sauce

  • 120 g mayonnaise
  • 75 g chili sauce
  • 20 g sambal oelek

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Combine water, milk, honey, instant yeast, egg, and sunflower oil in a large mixing bowl. Gradually add flour and salt, and knead until a smooth dough forms. Incorporate butter and continue kneading until fully absorbed and the dough is elastic. Cover and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
  2. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: Dice or finely chop the chicken filet. In a bowl, mix chicken with salt, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne powder, black pepper powder, sambal oelek, soy sauce, and egg for binding. Set aside to marinate for enhanced flavor.
  3. Make Cornstarch Coating: In a separate bowl, combine cornstarch with salt, black pepper powder, and onion powder to create a seasoned coating mixture.
  4. Coat and Cook the Chicken: Toss the marinated chicken pieces thoroughly in the cornstarch mixture to coat evenly. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess oil on paper towels.
  5. Prepare the Sauce: Mix mayonnaise, chili sauce, and sambal oelek together in a bowl to create the spicy sauce. Adjust seasoning as desired.
  6. Assemble the Buns: Punch down the risen dough and divide into equal portions. Flatten each portion and place a spoonful of the fried chicken mixture and a drizzle of the spicy sauce in the center. Fold dough around filling and seal properly to form buns.
  7. Add Topping: Brush the surface of each bun with milk. Mix Parmesan cheese with cayenne powder, onion powder, and black pepper powder, then generously sprinkle this topping over each bun.
  8. Final Rise and Bake: Place the buns on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Let them rest for a second rise of about 30 minutes until puffed. Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) and bake buns for approximately 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Serve: Let buns cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the cheesy, spicy dynamite chicken buns warm with extra sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken is fully cooked before placing it in the buns to avoid undercooked filling.
  • You can adjust the level of spiciness by modifying the amount of cayenne powder and sambal oelek in the chicken mixture and sauce.
  • For softer buns, brush with butter immediately after baking while still warm.
  • If you prefer, substitute sunflower oil with vegetable or canola oil for frying.
  • These buns can be reheated in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes to regain crispness and warmth.
