Ingredients
  

For the Biscuits
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Plus additional for rolling
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed Use unsalted for better control of salt levels
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
For the Chicken
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts Organic or free-range recommended for better flavor
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Vegetable oil, for frying Enough for frying
For the Honey Butter
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¼ cup honey

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). In a large bowl, mix together 2 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
  2. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut in the ½ cup of cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add ¾ cup of buttermilk, stirring until just combined. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead just until it comes together.
  4. Roll the dough out to about ½ inch thick and use a biscuit cutter to cut out your biscuits. Place them on a baking sheet, making sure they’re close but not touching.
  5. Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes or until they’re golden brown.
Cooking the Chicken
  1. While the biscuits are baking, prepare the chicken. In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup of flour, 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, 2 teaspoons of onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.
  3. In a large skillet, heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the crust is golden brown.
Honey Butter Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the ½ cup softened butter and ¼ cup honey until smooth.
Assembly
  1. Assemble the biscuits by slicing them in half, placing a piece of chicken in the middle, and drizzling with the honey butter. Serve warm.

Notes

Use leftover rotisserie chicken for a quicker dish. For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
