Ingredients
  

For the Biscuits
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting) Use the additional flour for dusting the surface.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed) Ensure the butter is cold for flaky biscuits.
  • 3/4 cup milk Adjust for dough consistency.
For the Chicken
  • 2 pieces boneless chicken breasts (sliced into strips)
  • 1 cup buttermilk (for marinating) Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (for coating chicken)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup hot honey Or regular honey mixed with chili flakes for heat.
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by marinating the sliced chicken strips in buttermilk. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually stir in the milk until a soft dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Roll it out to about 1-inch thick and cut out your biscuits using a round cutter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cooking
  1. In another bowl, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and coat each piece with the seasoned flour.
  2. Heat oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken strips until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  3. Transfer the fried chicken to a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  4. While frying the chicken, bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Assembly
  1. On a warm biscuit, layer the fried chicken and drizzle hot honey over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Serving
  1. Enjoy your Hot Honey Chicken Biscuits with your favorite sides or simply on their own.

Notes

Consider substitutions for Halal-friendly options or dairy-free versions. Ensure oil is hot for frying chicken and don't skip the buttermilk marinade.
