Timing

Making the Hot Honey Chicken Biscuit Sandwiches takes about 30 minutes for preparation and 20 minutes for cooking.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Hot Honey

1. Mix Hot Honey: In a small saucepan, combine the honey, hot sauce, and red pepper flakes. Heat over low heat until warm and well combined. Set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

1. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a bowl and cover with buttermilk. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the refrigerator).
2. Prepare Flour Mixture: In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken

1. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of oil over medium-high heat until hot.
2. Dredge Chicken: Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
3. Fry Chicken: Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil and fry for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Step 4: Make the Biscuits

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add Buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined.
5. Shape Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead a few times. Pat into a 1-inch thick round and cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or glass.
6. Bake: Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 5: Assemble the Sandwiches

1. Layer Ingredients: Slice the biscuits in half. Place a piece of fried chicken on the bottom half, drizzle with hot honey, and top with the other half of the biscuit.
2. Serve: Enjoy warm, and serve with extra hot honey on the side if desired.
