Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup whole milk (or buttermilk)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 3 tbsp hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- Fresh herbs (thyme or rosemary, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add milk, mixing until you form a soft dough.
- On a floured surface, knead the dough gently until smooth. Roll out to about 1-inch thickness and cut into rounds.
- Place biscuits on the baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- While biscuits are baking, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper; cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- For the hot honey sauce, combine honey, hot sauce, and cayenne pepper in a small saucepan over low heat until warm.
- Assemble by slicing open each biscuit, adding chicken, and drizzling with hot honey sauce.
