Step-by-Step Instructions 👩🍳
Step 1: Prepare the chicken
Heat olive oil in a pan. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the shredded chicken, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until well-seasoned.
Step 2: Make the Dynamite sauce
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Combine filling
Add the cooked chicken to the sauce and mix well until everything is evenly coated in that spicy-creamy goodness.
Step 4: Assemble the buns
Slice off the tops of the buns and hollow out a little space in the center. Fill each bun with the chicken mixture and top generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Step 5: Bake
Place buns on a tray and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
Step 6: Serve and enjoy
Garnish with parsley or chives and serve warm.
