1In a deep bowl, mix the lukewarm milk, honey, and yeast. Stir well and let it rest for 5 minutes.
2Add the beaten egg and butter. Mix well.
3Add the flour and salt, then knead until smooth. Cover and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4Wash and cut the chicken thighs into small cubes and place them in a deep bowl.
5Add salt, onion powder, garlic powder, red bell pepper powder, cayenne powder, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
6Deflate the dough and divide it into 14 equal pieces of about 50 g each. Shape into balls.
7Take a ball of dough and roll it out into an oval shape. Brush the dough with milk and coat it with breadcrumbs.
8Place the buns on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Let the dough rise for 30 minutes in a warm place until doubled in size.
9Heat a layer of sunflower oil (about 2 cm deep) in a frying pan over medium heat (175°C). Fry the buns until browned on both sides and let them drain on a paper towel.
10In a bowl, mix the honey, ketchup, and soy sauce until smooth.
11Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes.
12Add the sauce and cook for another 4-5 minutes until well absorbed and slightly caramelized.
13Slice the buns open and fill them with the honey-glazed chicken, sesame seeds, lettuce, and sauce of your choice.
