Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
  • ¾ cup cold buttermilk
  • 2 chicken breasts, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • Oil for frying
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce
  • Butter for brushing

Method
 

  1. Slice chicken breasts into fillets and marinate in 1 cup buttermilk for 20–30 minutes.
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine 1 cup flour, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt for the coating.
  3. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat, dredge marinated chicken in seasoned flour, and fry until crispy and cooked through. Drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
  4. Warm honey in a small saucepan with hot sauce, stirring and adjusting heat to taste.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in 6 tablespoons cold butter until crumbly, then stir in ¾ cup buttermilk until a soft dough forms.
  6. Turn dough onto a floured surface, fold gently, and cut into 6 biscuits. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12–15 minutes until golden brown; brush with butter if desired.
  7. Split biscuits, place a fried chicken fillet inside each, drizzle with hot honey, close the biscuit, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use pre-made biscuits to save time.
  • Adjust hot sauce in honey for mild or extra spicy flavor.
  • Bake chicken instead of frying for a lighter version (425°F/220°C for 18–20 minutes).
  • Serve with slaw, roasted potatoes, or fruit for a complete meal.
