For the Chicken:

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 cup buttermilk

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

Vegetable oil for frying

For the Biscuits:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

¾ cup buttermilk

To Assemble:

Fresh dill or chives (optional for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Hot Honey Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, red pepper flakes, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Stir until heated through. Allow to simmer for 3-5 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.

    Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight for more flavor).

      Make the Biscuits: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in the cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the buttermilk until just combined. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead 3-4 times. Roll out to 1-inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a round cutter. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

        Bake the Biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and keep warm.

          Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). In a shallow dish, combine flour and baking powder. Remove the chicken from the marinade and dredge in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Fry the chicken in batches, about 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C). Drain on paper towels.

            Assemble the Biscuits: Slice each biscuit in half. Place a piece of fried chicken on the bottom half, drizzle generously with hot honey sauce, and place the top half back on. Garnish with fresh dill or chives if desired.

              Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your Sweet & Spicy Hot Honey Chicken Biscuits warm, perfect as a savory breakfast treat or a delightful party appetizer!
