Ingredients

For the Crispy Buns:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tbsp sugar

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1 tbsp instant yeast

  • 3/4 cup warm milk

  • 2 tbsp butter, melted

  • 1 egg

  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (for coating)

  • Oil for frying

For the Honey Chicken:

  • 2 chicken breasts, diced

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1/4 cup cornstarch

  • 2 tbsp oil (for frying)

Honey Sauce:

  • 3 tbsp honey

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp ketchup

  • 1 tbsp sriracha (optional)

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water (slurry)

For Assembly:

  • Fresh lettuce leaves

  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt or garlic mayo

  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Make the Dough Buns:
    Mix flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a bowl. Add warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Knead until smooth. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
    Divide into small balls, flatten slightly, dip in water, then coat with breadcrumbs. Let rest 10 minutes.
    Deep-fry until puffed and golden. Drain on paper towels.

  2. Cook the Chicken:
    Season diced chicken with salt and pepper. Toss in cornstarch. Pan-fry in oil until golden and fully cooked.

  3. Prepare the Honey Sauce:
    Combine honey, soy sauce, ketchup, sriracha, and garlic in a pan. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
    Stir in slurry and cook until thickened. Toss chicken in the sauce to coat evenly.

  4. Assemble the Sandwiches:
    Slice open fried buns. Spread garlic mayo or yogurt, add lettuce, fill with honey chicken, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Notes

  • You can substitute the mini buns with sliders or small dinner rolls for a baked version.

  • Sriracha adds heat — adjust to taste or omit for a milder version.

  • Great for freezing the buns ahead and frying before use.
