Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the water, salt, and eggs, and stir until the salt is fully dissolved.
Add flour: Gradually add the flour, stirring continuously until the mixture starts to come together to form a dough.
Incorporate butter: Pour in the melted butter and knead the dough on a floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.
Rest: Cover the dough with a cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest while you prepare the filling. This rest period helps relax the gluten, making the dough easier to roll.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
Sauté onions: In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Cook chicken: Add the chicken meat to the skillet, cooking until it is no longer pink and has browned slightly.
Season: Stir in the mayonnaise, ketchup, chicken seasoning, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper, mixing everything thoroughly. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Cool filling: Remove the skillet from heat and allow the filling to cool slightly. This prevents the dough from becoming soggy when assembled.
Step 3: Assemble the Pie

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Divide the dough: Split the dough into two portions, with one portion slightly larger than the other.
Roll out the base: Roll out the larger portion on a floured surface until it’s big enough to cover the bottom and sides of your pie dish.
Line the dish: Place the rolled-out dough into your pie dish, pressing gently to ensure it covers the sides.
Add filling: Spread the prepared chicken filling evenly over the dough in the pie dish.
Roll out the top crust: Roll out the second portion of dough and place it on top of the filling. Trim any excess and crimp the edges to seal the pie.
Egg wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg. Brush the egg wash over the top crust to give it a golden, shiny finish during baking.
Step 4: Bake the Pie
Cut slits for steam: Using a sharp knife, make a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape while baking.
Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling slightly.
Cool and serve: Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
