Here’s How You Make Hot Honey Chicken Biscuits

This recipe has three simple components: crispy fried chicken, buttery buttermilk biscuits, and a spicy-sweet hot honey drizzle. It’s the perfect project when you’re looking to spend some time in the kitchen, but every moment is worth it for the flavors that come together!

For the Fried Chicken:

  1. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Mix together flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a large bowl. In a separate dish, whisk an egg and water.
  3. Dredge chicken pieces in the flour, dip in the egg, then back into the flour to coat well. Set aside.
  4. Fry the chicken in batches, cooking for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove chicken and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

For the Buttermilk Biscuits:

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl.
  3. Work in cold butter using a grater or by cutting it into small cubes. The goal is to create coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in buttermilk to form a soft dough.
  5. Pat the dough into a rectangle and fold it in thirds, repeating twice to create flaky layers.
  6. Cut out biscuits with a 2.5-inch cutter and bake for 15-17 minutes until golden. Brush with melted butter.

For the Hot Honey:

  1. Combine honey and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat.
  2. Stir in apple cider vinegar once off the heat, then let it cool.
  3. Drizzle this sweet, spicy mixture over your fried chicken.

To Assemble:

  1. Split your freshly baked biscuits in half.
  2. Place a piece of crispy chicken on each biscuit half.
  3. Drizzle generously with hot honey and serve with pickles on the side.
