INGREDIENTS

Chicken Tenders: 1.5–2 lbs, for crispy fried chicken
Seasonings: Salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, for flavor
Flour: 1.5 cups all-purpose, for dredging the chicken
Egg Wash: 1 large egg + 2 tbsp water, for coating the chicken

Hot Honey: Honey, crushed red pepper flakes, and apple cider vinegar for a spicy-sweet glaze

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1:: Prepare the chicken by mixing flour and seasonings in a bowl. Dredge chicken tenders in the flour, dip in egg wash, and coat in flour again. Heat oil to 365°F and fry until golden and crispy, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 2:: Preheat the oven to 450°F. Mix dry ingredients for the biscuits and cut in cold butter until crumbly. Add buttermilk and mix to form a dough. Roll out, fold several times, and cut into biscuits. Bake for 15-17 minutes and brush with melted butter.
Step 3:: Prepare the hot honey by heating honey and crushed red pepper flakes in a saucepan. Simmer for 1 minute, remove from heat, and stir in apple cider vinegar.
Step 4:: Assemble the biscuits by splitting them in half. Place a fried chicken tender inside each biscuit, drizzle with hot honey, and top with pickles if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!

Serving and Storage Tips

Serve the biscuits warm with extra hot honey on the side for dipping.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat biscuits in the oven and chicken in a skillet for the best texture.

Helpful Notes

Customize the heat level of the hot honey by adjusting the amount of red pepper flakes.
For extra flaky biscuits, fold the dough several times before cutting.

Tips from Well-Known Chefs
