Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 cup buttermilk (for marinating)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Cooking oil for frying or spray for baking
  • 4 to 6 biscuits (homemade, canned, or frozen)

Instructions

  2. Prepare the biscuits according to package instructions or homemade recipe.
  3. In a shallow bowl, mix flour with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne.
  4. Coat each piece of marinated chicken in the seasoned flour, pressing firmly to adhere.
  5. Heat oil in a skillet and fry chicken until golden and cooked through, or bake/air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway.
  6. In a small saucepan, warm honey and hot sauce together until well combined.
  7. Split the baked biscuits open, add a piece of crispy chicken, and drizzle with hot honey.
  8. Brush biscuit tops with melted butter and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use spicy chicken tenders or plant-based alternatives for variation.
  • Flavored honeys like chili or smoked honey add unique flavor twists.
  • Add pickles or spicy mayo inside biscuits for extra flavor.
  • Store chicken and biscuits separately and reheat before serving.
  • Hot honey can be made ahead and stored in a sealed jar.
