Ingredients

Scale

For the Fried Chicken:

  • 1½ to 2 pounds chicken tenders or 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 large egg + 2 tbsp water, beaten
  • Vegetable, canola, or peanut oil for frying

For the Buttermilk Biscuits:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)

For the Hot Honey:

  • 1 cup honey
  • 2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

1. Fill a large pot with 2 inches of oil and heat over medium.

2. In a bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In another bowl, beat egg with water.

3. Dredge chicken in flour mixture, dip in egg, then dredge again in flour. Set aside.

4. Check oil temperature (365–375°F). Fry chicken in batches for 8–10 minutes until golden and cooked through. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate.

5. Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

6. In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

7. Stir in buttermilk to form soft dough. Pat dough into a rectangle, fold into thirds, turn, and repeat twice more.

8. Cut biscuits using a 2.5-inch cutter. Re-roll scraps as needed. Bake 15–17 minutes until golden. Brush with melted butter.

9. In a small saucepan, heat honey and red pepper flakes. Remove from heat and stir in apple cider vinegar. Cool slightly.

10. To assemble, split biscuits, top with fried chicken, and drizzle with hot honey. Serve with pickles if desired.

Notes

• Make the biscuits ahead and reheat before assembling.

• Adjust the pepper flakes in the honey to control heat level.

• Use a thermometer to monitor oil temp for best frying results.

• Serve immediately for maximum crispiness and flavor.
