📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 375°. Place 3 scallions, thinly sliced, 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken, ⅓ cup mayonnaise, ½ cup chopped dried cranberries, and 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard in a medium bowl. Heat 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil and 1 Tbsp. curry powder in a small skillet over medium, stirring often, until foaming and fragrant, 30–⏱️ 60 seconds. Pour oil into bowl with chicken and mix well.

Place a heaping 1 Tbsp. filling in 1 corner of bottom half of a square. Press down on filling to spread out, making sure to leave a ¼" border around edges. Fold dough in half on a diagonal up and over filling to make a triangle; pinch edges together to seal. Crimp edges with a fork, then cut 3 slits across the top. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling.

Transfer pastries to 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing about 1" apart. Brush tops with 1 large egg, beaten to blend, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Bake, rotating baking sheets top to bottom and front to back halfway through, until golden brown and puffed, 30–⏱️ 35 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. Do ahead: Pastries (without egg and sea salt) can be assembled 3 months ahead. Freeze on baking sheets until pastry is solid, about ⏱️ 45 minutes, then transfer to resealable plastic bags or stack in airtight containers between sheets of parchment paper. Brush with egg and sprinkle with sea salt before baking 35–⏱️ 40 minutes.
