Ingredients

Units Scale

Buttermilk Biscuits:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk

Crispy Chicken:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts (cut into biscuit-sized pieces)
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • oil for frying

Hot Honey:

  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1–2 teaspoons hot sauce (like Frank’s or your favorite)
  • pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the biscuits: Preheat oven to 450°F. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the buttermilk just until combined. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Fold dough over itself 2–3 times, then cut out biscuits using a round cutter. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden.
  2. Prepare the chicken: In a bowl, marinate chicken in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight). In another bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, and seasonings. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a skillet to 350°F. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off, and dredge in the flour mixture. Fry chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 4–6 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  3. Make the hot honey: In a small saucepan, warm honey over low heat and stir in hot sauce and red pepper flakes. Remove from heat once combined.
  4. Assemble: Slice warm biscuits in half, add a piece of crispy chicken, and drizzle generously with hot honey. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can prep biscuits and hot honey in advance.
  • Adjust the spice level of the hot honey to taste.
  • For a spicy twist, add hot sauce to the buttermilk marinade.
