Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Chicken
In a pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic paste, then toss in diced chicken. Stir-fry for 6–8 minutes until cooked through. Season with soy sauce, chili sauce, pepper, and salt. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: Make the Dynamite Sauce
In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, Sriracha, and ketchup until smooth. Adjust spice level to your liking. Add honey if you prefer a sweet-spicy balance.
Step 3: Mix & Fill
Combine the cooked chicken with the dynamite sauce. Stir in mozzarella cheese for that irresistible creamy texture.
Step 4: Stuff the Buns
Slice each bun in half and scoop out a little center to make room for filling. Stuff generously with the chicken-cheese mixture.
Step 5: Bake or Toast
Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle parsley flakes.
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes or until the cheese melts and the tops are golden.
(Alternatively, toast in a covered pan over low heat for 5–7 minutes.)
Step 6: Serve Hot
Serve immediately while the cheese is molten and the buns are warm.

Healthier Alternatives
- Replace mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter sauce.
- Use whole-wheat buns for extra fiber.
- Try air-frying the chicken instead of pan-frying.
- Reduce cheese and increase veggies (like bell peppers) for balance.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with crispy fries, coleslaw, or a fresh green salad.
- Add extra chili flakes for spice lovers.
- Make mini versions for parties or picnics.
- Drizzle with extra dynamite sauce for a restaurant-style finish.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Overcooking chicken: it becomes dry and chewy — cook until just done.
- Using too much sauce: it can make buns soggy.
- Skipping the butter glaze: that’s what gives the bakery shine and rich aroma.
Storing Tips
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight box for up to 2 days.
- Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 160°C for 5 minutes — avoid microwaving (it softens the buns too much).
- Freeze unbaked buns for up to 1 month and bake fresh when needed.
