Spicy Chicken Honey Biscuits (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
About 1.5-2 lbs of chicken tenders or thinly sliced chicken breast.
02 -
1 and 1/2 cups of regular flour for breading.
03 -
1 tsp of kosher salt.
04 -
1/4 tsp of ground black pepper.
05 -
A pinch—1/4 tsp—of garlic powder.
06 -
Smoked paprika—just 1/4 tsp.
07 -
1 egg mixed with 2 tbsp of water.
08 -
Cooking oil for frying.
09 -
2 cups of flour used for biscuit dough.
10 -
1 tbsp of baking powder.
11 -
1 tsp kosher salt, specifically for biscuits.
12 -
1/4 tsp of baking soda.
13 -
1/2 cup cold butter, with 1/4 cup melted later.
14 -
3/4 cup of tangy buttermilk.
15 -
1 cup of honey.
16 -
2 tsp of crushed red pepper flakes.
17 -
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar.
# Instructions:
01 -
Warm oil to 375°F. Mix the breading ingredients together. Dip chicken in flour, then egg mix, then flour again. Fry until crispy and golden, about 8-10 minutes.
02 -
Blend the dry items together. Cut in the cold butter until there are small crumbs. Stir in the buttermilk. Fold the dough a few times, cut into circles, and bake at 450°F for 15-17 minutes.
03 -
Heat honey with chili flakes just until it starts to bubble. Take it off the stove and mix in vinegar. Let it cool down.
04 -
Slice biscuits open, lay a fried chicken piece inside, and pour some spicy honey over the top. Pickles optional!
# Notes:
01 -
You can make the honey in advance and store it.
02 -
Folding the dough gives you those classic flaky layers.
03 -
Avoid twisting the biscuit cutter. That keeps them nice and tall.
