Ingredients
For the biscuits
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter, diced Ensure butter is cold for flakiness.
- 3/4 cup milk
For the chicken

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk gently until just combined.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead it lightly. Roll it out to about 1-inch thick and cut into biscuits.
- Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
- While the biscuits are baking, marinate the chicken in buttermilk for at least 1 hour.
- In another bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in this seasoned flour.
Cooking
- Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat and fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, around 4-5 minutes on each side.
- To prepare the hot honey, combine honey and hot sauce in a small saucepan and heat gently until mixed well.
Assembly
- Place the fried chicken on top of the biscuits and drizzle with the hot honey sauce.
