Steps in our own plain words.

Cut every chicken breast into two even pieces.
If you're using frying pan, heat two frying pans.
Do it over medium-high heat, using one of them containing oil.
Fry your chicken in your oiled pan for 3-4 mins on every side until they are cooked through.
Season the chicken.
Turn the heat down, drizzle in your chilli sauce plus half of the lemon juice.
Cook for an more 1-2 mins till the sauce is reduced.

Cook for 12 mins.
Drizzle over your chilli sauce and half the lemon juice.
Cook for an more 1-2 mins till your chicken is cooked through plus the sauce is reduced.
Remove the chicken.
Keep it warm.
While your chicken is cooking, toast your buns in your dry frying pan for 30 seconds.
Move them to a plate.
If you're using air fryer, put your buns in your air fryer for 1-2 mins till they are warm.
Increase the air fryer temperature to 400°F.
