Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces

2 tablespoons Chinese five-spice powder

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

4 scallions, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup hoisin sauce

2 tablespoons sriracha or other hot chili sauce

12 frozen dinner rolls, thawed and halved

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cake flour, yeast, sugar and salt; add the water and oil. Using your hands, mix and then knead in the bowl until a dough forms . Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Put the dough into an oiled bowl, turning the dough to coat it with oil, then cover with a clean tea towel and let rise at a draught-free warm room temperature, until doubled in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Meanwhile, cut out 12 squares of baking parchment.
