A Southern-style sandwich combining crispy buttermilk-marinated chicken with buttery biscuits and a sweet-hot honey drizzle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 cups boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound), flattened or cut into sandwich-sized pieces
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup hot sauce
  • 1 cup honey
  • Oil for frying (vegetable, canola, or peanut oil)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in milk until the dough comes together.
  3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead lightly, roll to about 1 inch thick, and cut into rounds.
  4. Bake biscuits for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Keep warm.
  5. Combine buttermilk and hot sauce in a bowl, refrigerate chicken for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Heat oil in a skillet to 350°F (175°C). Dredge chicken in flour and fry until golden and cooked through, about 4-6 minutes per side.
  7. Warm honey and hot sauce in a saucepan until glossy.
  8. Assemble sandwiches with a piece of fried chicken between biscuit halves and drizzle with hot honey.

Notes

For flakier biscuits, use very cold butter and handle the dough lightly. Substitute buttermilk with milk and lemon juice if needed. Use your favorite hot sauce for desired heat level.
