Cooking Directions

Preparations

1. Wash the chicken thigh, and cut into approximately 20 strips. Mix in the marinade ingredients with the chicken thigh, and allow to marinate for 2 hours.


2. Peel and wash the potatoes, then cut into approximately 20 slices. Soak in water, then fry in oil under medium-high heat until golden-brown.


3. Slice the ham into 20 strips.

How to make the dough

4. Mix together the dough materials, and stir until an even, thick consistency is achieved. Allow to ferment for 1 hour.

How to assemble chicken rolls

5. Separate the dough into 20 pieces, rolling each into a ball. Flatten each ball, and add an appropriate amount of filling ingredients onto each. Cover a pan with tinfoil and place each bun on top, allowing to ferment for an additional 30 minutes.

Put it all together

6. Before baking, cover the dough with the beaten egg liquid. Pre-heat the oven to 212 °F (100 °C), and place the pan inside. Increase the heat to 390 °F (200 °C) and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden-brown in color.


7. Tip: Try and select longer and skinnier shaped potatoes for this recipe, as they can be more easily sliced in the desired fashion.
