Marinating the chicken longer will result in a more flavorful and tender outcome. Cover and refrigerate if marinating for more than 30 minutes.
2
In a separate large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, warm water, yeast, milk powder, mixed herbs, egg, and oil. Mix and knead until a smooth, elastic dough forms. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
