Ingredients
Biscuits:
2 cups all‑purpose flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
6 Tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
¾ cup milk (plus extra for brushing)
Chicken & Coating:
1 lb chicken tenders or breast strips
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tsp lemon juice)
1 cup all‑purpose flour
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
Oil for frying
Hot Honey Sauce:
½ cup honey
2 Tbsp hot sauce (like Sriracha or Frank’s)
1 tsp apple cider vinegar (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 °F (220 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Make biscuits: in a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk, stir until just combined, then knead gently 5–6 turns. Pat into a 1‑inch thick circle and cut out 8 biscuits. Place on sheet, brush tops with milk, bake 12–15 min until golden.
Meanwhile, season chicken with salt and pepper. Dip in buttermilk, then dredge in a mixture of flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium‑high. Fry chicken strips 3–4 min per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
Make hot honey sauce: in a small saucepan, combine honey, hot sauce, and vinegar. Warm gently, stirring until blended.
Toss fried chicken in the hot honey until evenly coated.
To assemble, split a warm biscuit, layer with hot honey chicken, let the sauce soak in, then top with the other half. Serve immediately.
