Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Combine water, milk, and honey in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle yeast over top and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Stir in egg and sunflower oil. Gradually add flour, salt, and softened butter. Mix until a shaggy dough forms and knead for 10-12 minutes.
  3. While the dough rises, mix Parmesan cheese, cayenne, onion powder, and black pepper in a bowl.
  4. Marinate chicken in salt, sambal oelek, soy sauce, and beaten egg for 1-2 hours.
  5. Punch down the dough and divide into 14 pieces, shaping each into a ball and resting for 10 minutes.
  6. Roll each ball into a rectangle, fold in half, and dip in Parmesan mixture. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Let the buns rise for 30 minutes, then preheat oven to 200°C (392°F).
  8. Bake the buns for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Fry marinated chicken pieces in heated oil until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  10. Mix mayonnaise, chili sauce, and sambal oelek in a bowl. Toss chicken in sauce until evenly coated.
  11. Slice the cooled buns, fill with fried chicken, drizzle with remaining sauce, and serve.
