How To Make Fried Chicken Biscuits

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Cut each chicken breast into thirds to create smaller biscuit-sized chicken portions.

Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Biscuit Dough

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until a soft dough forms.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently fold it several times to create flaky layers.

Roll the dough out to about 1-inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter.

Place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 3: Prepare the Chicken Breading

In one bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.

In another bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Dip each piece of chicken into the milk mixture, then dredge in the seasoned flour.

Repeat for extra crispy coating if desired.

Step 4: Fry the Chicken

Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350 degrees F.

Carefully fry the chicken pieces for about 5 to 7 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 5: Assemble the Biscuits

Slice the warm biscuits in half.

Add a piece of fried chicken to each biscuit.

Top with butter, honey, pickles, hot sauce, or your favorite toppings.

Serve warm.
