Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless chicken thighs (about 4 medium thighs)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying (neutral oil: vegetable, canola, or peanut)
- 2 cups homemade or store-bought biscuits (enough to make 4 sandwiches; typically 4 biscuits)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1–2 tablespoons hot sauce (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Marinate chicken thighs in buttermilk for at least 1 hour.
- In a bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Remove chicken from buttermilk, coat in flour mixture, and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes per side.
- Keep cooked chicken warm in a low oven.
- Bake the biscuits according to package instructions or homemade recipe.
- For the hot honey sauce, mix honey and hot sauce in a bowl, adjusting heat to your preference.
- To serve, cut biscuits in half, place fried chicken inside, drizzle with hot honey, and top with biscuit halves.
Notes
Let the chicken rest a minute after frying to prevent making the biscuit soggy. Serve hot for the best textural contrast.
