Assemble the ultimate fried chicken biscuit sandwich using a crispy chicken breast and a rich honey butter spread for a satisfying breakfast or lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large buttermilk biscuits
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken dredge: In one shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. In a second dish, whisk the eggs and buttermilk together.
  2. Dredge the chicken: Dip each chicken piece first into the buttermilk mixture, letting excess drip off, then press firmly into the flour mixture, coating completely.
  3. Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or Dutch oven to a depth of about 1.5 inches. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Fry the chicken: Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 5 to 7 minutes per side, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove and drain on a wire rack.
  5. Make the honey butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  6. Assemble the sandwich: Slice the biscuits in half horizontally. Spread a generous amount of honey butter on both the top and bottom halves of each biscuit. Place one piece of crispy fried chicken on the bottom half and top with the other half.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon to the honey butter mixture.
  • If you prefer a spicy kick, add 1 teaspoon of hot sauce to the buttermilk before dipping the chicken.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet for more consistent oil temperature when frying.
