Directions

Combine lukewarm water, lukewarm milk, honey, and yeast in a bowl. Mix well and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Add the beaten egg and sunflower oil, then mix well. Next, add the flour, salt, and butter. Knead the dough for 10-12 minutes until smooth. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
In a separate bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, cayenne powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Wash and cut the chicken into pieces and place them in a deep bowl. Add salt, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne powder, black pepper, sambal, soy sauce, and the beaten egg. Mix until combined, then cover and refrigerate.
After the dough has risen, deflate it and divide it into 14 equal pieces, about 70 g each. Shape them into balls.
Roll each ball into a rectangle about 15 x 13 cm (11 x 10 inches) and fold it in half.
Brush the folded dough with milk.
Dip one side into the Parmesan mixture.
Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and make a few slashes on top. Let it rise for another 30 minutes or until it doubles in size.
Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 200 ℃ (392 °F) for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown.
While the buns are baking, mix cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and onion powder in a bowl.
Coat the chicken thoroughly with the cornstarch mixture. Place them on parchment paper.
Heat a thin layer of sunflower oil in a skillet over medium heat (175 ℃, 350 °F). Fry the chicken until golden brown and drain them on paper towels.
In another bowl, combine mayonnaise, chili sauce, and sambal. Mix well.
Toss the fried chicken with the sauce.
Fill the buns with fresh vegetables, chicken, and extra sauce to taste.
