Ingredients

For the Biscuits:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tbsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk

For the Chicken:

  • 2 boneless chicken thighs or breasts, pounded thin

  • 1 cup buttermilk (for marinating)

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup cornstarch

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • Oil for frying

For the Honey Butter:

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened

  • 2 tbsp honey

Instructions

  1. Marinate Chicken: Soak chicken in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes (overnight for best results).

  2. Make Biscuits: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles crumbs. Stir in buttermilk to form dough. Roll out, cut into rounds, and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden.

  3. Fry Chicken: In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Remove chicken from buttermilk, dredge in flour mix, and fry in 350°F (175°C) oil for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  4. Make Honey Butter: Mix softened butter and honey until smooth.

  5. Assemble Sandwiches: Split warm biscuits, add a piece of crispy chicken, and drizzle or spread with honey butter.

  6. Serve hot for a sweet and savory treat.

Notes

  • Add hot sauce to the chicken marinade for a spicy kick.

  • Use a biscuit cutter for tall, flaky rounds.

  • Can be prepped ahead and assembled just before serving.
