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!
