Creating Hot Honey Chicken Biscuits is an exciting culinary adventure. Follow these straightforward steps to make this incredible dish:
1. In a small saucepan, combine honey and hot sauce over low heat.
2. Stir until mixed well and warmed through. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Place chicken thighs in a bowl and pour buttermilk over them.
4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight for better flavor.
5. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
6. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
7. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
8. Gradually add milk and stir until just combined.
9. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times.
10. Roll out to 1-inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a round cutter.
11. Set up a frying station with flour in a shallow dish and the marinated chicken thighs.
12. Dredge the buttermilk-soaked chicken in flour, ensuring it’s coated well.
13. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.
14. Fry chicken pieces for about 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
15. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
16. Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
17. Remove from oven and brush with melted butter, if desired.
18. Slice each biscuit in half and place a piece of fried chicken in between.
19. Drizzle with hot honey and top with the other half of the biscuit.
