Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Vegetable oil for frying
For the Hot Honey
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
For the Biscuits
  • 4 large buttermilk biscuits
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Method
 

  1. Slice the chicken breasts into four equal pieces.
  2. Marinate the chicken in buttermilk with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a shallow bowl.
  4. Coat each chicken piece thoroughly in the flour mixture.
  5. Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Fry the chicken for 6–8 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked.
  7. Bake the biscuits according to package or homemade recipe directions.
  8. Brush the warm biscuits with melted butter.
  9. Combine honey, hot sauce, red pepper flakes, and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan.
  10. Warm the honey mixture over low heat for 2–3 minutes.
  11. Split each biscuit in half.
  12. Place one crispy chicken piece inside each biscuit.
  13. Drizzle generously with hot honey.
  14. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Marinating longer makes the chicken extra tender.
  • Adjust the hot sauce to make it milder or spicier.
  • Homemade biscuits provide the best buttery flavor.
  • Use a thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Leftover hot honey keeps well in the refrigerator for up to one month.
  • Add pickle slices for extra crunch and tanginess.
