How To Make Hot Honey Fried Chicken Biscuits
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Cut each chicken breast into thirds to create smaller biscuit-sized portions.
Set aside.
Step 2: Make the Biscuits
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 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 fold 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 and bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 3: Bread the Chicken
In one bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
In another bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Dip each piece of chicken into the milk mixture, then dredge into 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 fully cooked.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 5: Make the Hot Honey
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey, hot sauce, and red pepper flakes.
Warm gently until combined.
Step 6: Assemble the Biscuits
Slice the warm biscuits in half.
Add a piece of fried chicken to each biscuit.
Drizzle generously with warm hot honey.
Serve immediately.
