How to Make Hot Honey Chicken Biscuits

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 1 pound chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
• 1 cup buttermilk (for marinating)
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Oil for frying
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1-2 teaspoons hot sauce (adjust to taste)

Directions:

1. In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in buttermilk until a dough forms.
2. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently and roll out to a 1-inch thickness. Cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet.
3. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes until golden.
4. Marinate chicken in 1 cup of buttermilk. Then, season with paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
5. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
6. For the hot honey sauce, mix honey and hot sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until warm.
7. Assemble the dish by placing fried chicken between biscuits and drizzling with hot honey. Serve warm.

How to Serve Hot Honey Chicken Biscuits

Serve the Hot Honey Chicken Biscuits warm from the oven. You can enjoy them for breakfast, brunch, or even as a tasty snack. Pair them with a side of fruit or a simple salad for a complete meal. A cold beverage or sweet tea goes nicely with this dish.

How to Store Hot Honey Chicken Biscuits

To store leftovers, place the biscuits and chicken in an airtight container. Keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave when ready to eat. The hot honey sauce can also be stored separately in a jar and warmed up before serving.

Tips to Make Hot Honey Chicken Biscuits

• Use cold butter when making the biscuits for a flakier texture.
• Make sure not to over-knead the dough; this can make the biscuits tough.
• Adjust the amount of hot sauce in the honey based on your spice preference.
• If you like, you can add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the chicken seasoning for extra flavor.

Variation

You can switch up the type of chicken by using chicken breasts instead of thighs. For a healthier version, you can bake the chicken instead of frying it. Another option is to add fresh herbs, like rosemary or thyme, to the biscuit dough.
