Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken in buttermilk for at least one hour to tenderize and infuse flavor. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add milk and stir until just combined.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface, roll out gently, and cut into rounds.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dredge marinated chicken in flour and fry until golden brown (about five minutes per side).
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey and red pepper flakes; stir until heated through.
- To assemble, split each biscuit in half, place fried chicken between them, and drizzle generously with hot honey sauce.
