Directions

1. Prep the Chicken
   
   

   • Marinate the chicken in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes (or overnight).
     
     

   • Dredge in a mix of flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
     
     

   • Fry in oil heated to 350°F (175°C) for about 4–5 minutes per side until cooked and golden. Drain on paper towels.
     
     

2. Bake the Biscuits
   
   

   • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
     
     

   • Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
     
     

   • Stir in buttermilk gently—avoid overmixing.
     
     

   • Shape into a 1-inch thick rectangle, cut into biscuits, and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden.
     
     

3. Make the Hot Honey
   
   

   • Warm honey and red pepper flakes in a small pan until fragrant. Stir in apple cider vinegar and a pinch of salt, if using.
     
     

4. Assemble & Serve
   
   

   • Split each biscuit. Layer chicken inside and drizzle generously with hot honey. Serve while hot for the best experience.
