Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Marinade

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into sandwich-sized pieces
  • 1 cup buttermilk (for marinating)

Coating

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Biscuits

  • 6 fluffy biscuits (homemade or store-bought)

Hot Honey Sauce

  • 1/2 cup honey (raw or wildflower preferred)
  • 1–2 tablespoons hot sauce or chili flakes (adjust to taste)

For Frying

  • Vegetable oil (enough for deep frying)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Soak the chicken pieces in buttermilk for at least 15 minutes to tenderize the meat and help the coating adhere better.
  2. Prepare the Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the seasoned flour mixture for a flavorful, crispy crust.
  3. Coat the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and thoroughly dredge each piece in the seasoned flour, pressing gently to form a thick coating that will crisp up when fried.
  4. Fry the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pan to about 350°F (175°C). Fry the coated chicken pieces until golden brown and fully cooked, approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels to keep crispy.
  5. Make the Hot Honey Sauce: Gently warm the honey in a small saucepan over low heat, then stir in hot sauce or chili flakes until well combined. Adjust the spice level to your preference.
  6. Assemble the Biscuits: Warm the biscuits briefly. Drizzle or brush the hot honey sauce generously over the fried chicken pieces, then sandwich the chicken inside the biscuits. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Keep frying oil at 350°F (175°C) to ensure crispy chicken without excess grease absorption.
  • Marinate chicken for at least 15 minutes; longer marination increases tenderness.
  • Drain fried chicken on paper towels before assembly to maintain crispiness.
  • Taste and adjust hot honey sauce spice gradually to suit your heat preference.
  • Warm biscuits gently before assembling to keep them soft and buttery.
