If you’re craving something warm, cheesy, and packed with flavor, these fried chicken cheese buns are going to be your new favorite snack! Soft, fluffy dough on the outside, filled with juicy chicken, melty cheese, and a touch of sweet and spicy sauce. These golden buns are perfect for lunch, dinner, or even as a party snack.
What makes them extra special? The filling is made with tender chicken thighs, soy sauce, sweet chili, and lots of cheese, giving you that perfect balance of savory, sweet, and creamy in every bite. The best part is, you can also turn them into mini chicken buns. Perfect for appetizers, family gatherings, or if you just love bite-sized comfort food.
Ingrediënten
Let the dough rise in a warm spot (for example, in the oven with just the light on). This speeds up the process.
Cut the chicken thighs into small, even pieces.
Make sure the chicken filling is completely cooled before stuffing the buns, otherwise the dough will get soft and tear.
If you like a creamy filling, you can add a little cream cheese or mozzarella when cooling.
You can also make mini buns (20 pieces of 30–35 g dough), perfect for snacks or parties!
Fry the buns in oil at about 175 °C. Too cold? They’ll soak up oil. Too hot? They’ll burn outside but stay raw inside. Test with a small piece of dough: it should float up and bubble right away, but not too vigorously.
Don’t fry too many buns at once. This keeps the oil temperature stable and ensures even cooking.
Sprinkle some extra grated cheddar over the warm buns after frying—it melts beautifully.
Delicious with a fresh yogurt sauce, garlic sauce, or spicy chili dip.
