How to Make Chicken Biscuits

1. Marinate the Chicken: The secret to juicy, flavorful chicken starts with the marinade. A mix of buttermilk, pickle juice, and a few simple spices infuses the chicken with flavor and keeps it incredibly tender.
2. Whip Up the Honey Butter: This honey butter is a game-changer! Whipped until light and fluffy, it’s the perfect balance of sweet and savory with a touch of garlic and onion.
3. Prepare the Crispy Batter: The combination of flour, cornstarch, and spices gives the chicken its signature crispiness. Each piece is dredged in the mixture, ensuring a crunchy bite in every mouthful.
4. Fry the Chicken: Once the chicken is marinated and coated, fry until golden brown and perfectly crispy. The key is to fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
5. Assemble the Biscuits (recipe): Start with a toasted biscuit, add a piece of crispy chicken, and slather it with that luscious honey butter. Crown it with the top half of the biscuit, and you’re ready to savor every bite.

Storage and Leftovers

If you have leftovers (though that’s unlikely!), store the chicken and biscuits separately in airtight containers. The chicken will stay crispy if reheated in an oven or air fryer. The whipped honey butter can be stored in the fridge and spread on anything from toast to cornbread for a little extra indulgence!

Why You’re Going to Love These Buttermilk Biscuits

• Tender and Flaky: These biscuits have that melt-in-your-mouth texture with buttery layers that pull apart effortlessly.
• Simple Ingredients: No need for complicated ingredients—just pantry staples like flour, butter, and buttermilk.
• Perfect for Any Meal: Whether you’re serving them with breakfast, alongside dinner, or as a savory snack, they’re the perfect versatile treat.
• Foolproof Recipe: With clear steps and a few simple tips, you’ll achieve perfect biscuits every time, even if you’re new to baking.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour, plus more for the work surface
• Cold buttermilk
• Frozen unsalted butter
• Baking powder
• Sugar
• Salt
• Baking soda

Garnish:

• Butter
• Honey

How to Make Buttermilk Biscuits

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F and line a baking tray or dish with butter.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
3. Add the Butter: Shred frozen butter using a box grater or food processor. Add the shredded butter to the flour mixture and use a fork to cut it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Incorporate the Buttermilk: Create a well in the center of the mixture, then pour in the cold buttermilk. Gently fold everything together until it forms a shaggy, sticky dough.
5. Bring the Dough Together: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently bring it together with your hands. Flatten and fold the dough over itself a few times, adding more flour if necessary to prevent sticking.
6. Cut the Biscuits: Roll the dough to about ½ inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or cup to cut out the biscuits by pressing straight down—don’t twist, or the biscuits won’t rise as well. Continue until you’ve used up all the dough.
7. Bake to Golden Perfection: Place the biscuits on the buttered baking tray so that they’re just slightly touching. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
8. Finish and Serve: Once out of the oven, brush the tops with melted butter and serve with honey on the side. Enjoy!

Notes

• Keep Everything Cold: To achieve the perfect flaky texture, it’s essential to keep your ingredients cold. Cold butter creates steam when baked, forming those irresistible layers. Shred frozen butter directly into the flour mixture, and don’t overwork the dough—this helps prevent the butter from warming up too quickly. You can even chill the dough again before baking if needed!
• Storage Instructions: These biscuits are best served fresh out of the oven, but you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To keep them longer, store in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven to bring back that fresh-baked texture.
