Soft, fluffy homemade buns filled with juicy, flavorful chicken and a creamy sauce.
There’s something so special about freshly baked buns straight out of the oven — soft, warm, and filled with flavor. These soft chicken buns are one of those recipes that feel comforting, satisfying, and just a little indulgent.
The dough comes out beautifully soft and light, while the chicken is packed with flavor thanks to a simple marinade of garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and spices. Once baked and filled, every bite is warm, savory, and incredibly satisfying.
