How to Make Honey Butter Chicken Biscuits
This recipe is as basic as the ingredient list. It only takes a little frying and baking, then you just put the biscuits together. It’s so easy even beginners can make it easily.
Step 1: Make the Dredging Station
Combine the panko and seasonings in a shallow dish. Then, whisk the eggs and heavy cream in another shallow dish.
Step 2: Coat the Chicken
Dredge each chicken bite in the egg mixture and then in the breadcrumb mixture.
Step 3: Fry
Fry the chicken in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 7 to 8 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 4: Bake the Biscuits
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake the biscuits on a baking sheet according to the package directions until golden brown.
Step 5: Make the Honey Butter
Heat the butter in the microwave until softened or slightly melted. Then, mix the hot honey into the butter.
Step 6: Make the Chicken Biscuits
Cut the buttermilk biscuits in half and add a piece of chicken. Then, drizzle the chicken with the honey butter sauce, add the top of the biscuit and brush the top with more honey butter. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Gently tap your chicken between dredging for the perfect coating.
- Fry the chicken in batches to achieve a crispy outer coating. Overcrowding the pot will decrease the oil temperature, resulting in a soggy coating.
- Soften the butter until warm and super soft but not melted for the best result.
Variations
- For a mild version, omit the Cajun seasoning and use regular honey instead of hot honey.
- You can make this recipe with pork instead of chicken.
- Serve these biscuits with a bit of jam as well for breakfast.
