Instructions
Creating Hot Honey Chicken Biscuits involves these simple, easy-to-follow steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, cover the chicken with 1 cup of buttermilk. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
3. Prepare the Biscuit Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Mix well.
4. Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Add Buttermilk: Gradually stir in 3/4 cup of buttermilk until the dough comes together. Avoid over-mixing.
6. Roll Out Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and gently roll it out to about 1-inch thick.
7. Cut Biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out round biscuits. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Bake Biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Prepare Chicken Breading: While the biscuits bake, mix panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper in a shallow dish.
10. Coat the Chicken: Remove chicken from the marinade and dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is well-coated.
11. Fry the Chicken: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken and fry for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
12. Glaze the Chicken: Drizzle the cooked chicken with hot honey while it’s still warm, allowing it to soak in.
13. Assemble the Dish: Split the baked biscuits in half and place a piece of fried chicken in between. Drizzle more hot honey on top if desired.
14. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious creation!
