Print Recipe

Hot Honey Chicken Biscuits are a sweet and spicy twist on a Southern classic, featuring crispy fried chicken topped with hot honey and served on fluffy buttermilk biscuits.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup buttermilk (for marinating chicken)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir in buttermilk until dough comes together. Turn onto floured surface, pat into 1-inch thick, and cut into rounds.
  4. Place biscuits on baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Meanwhile, marinate chicken thighs in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Dredge chicken in flour mixture.
  7. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  8. In a small saucepan, combine honey, hot sauce, and butter. Heat until melted and combined.
  9. Split biscuits and assemble with fried chicken. Drizzle with hot honey sauce and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra heat, increase the amount of cayenne pepper in the dredge or hot sauce in the honey mixture.
  • You can use chicken breast instead of thighs if preferred.
  • Make biscuits ahead and reheat before serving.
