Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts: I usually use about 3-4 chicken breasts, but you can adjust the amount depending on how many people you’re feeding.
  • All-Purpose Flour: Choose high-quality flour for that perfect biscuit texture; it makes all the difference.
  • Baking Powder: Make sure it’s fresh for the best rise in your biscuits; old baking powder just won’t do.
  • Salt: A pinch enhances flavors; don’t skip this step!
  • Unsalted Butter: Use cold butter to create those flaky layers; it’s crucial for achieving biscuit perfection.
  • Milk: Whole milk works best for rich, moist biscuits, but any milk will do if that’s what you have.
  • Hot Honey Sauce: Combine honey with red pepper flakes; adjust the heat level according to your taste preference.

How to Make Hot Honey Chicken Biscuits

Prepare the Chicken: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Bake them for about 25-30 minutes until cooked through and juices run clear.

Create the Biscuit Dough: While the chicken bakes, combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Add Milk to Form Dough: Pour in milk gradually while mixing gently with a fork until combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want fluffy biscuits!

Cut Out Biscuits: Turn dough onto a floured surface and pat it down gently until about 1-inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter (or glass) to cut out rounds. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake Biscuits Until Golden Brown: Bake the biscuits in the oven for 15-20 minutes until they turn golden brown and rise beautifully.

Assemble Your Dish: Slice each biscuit in half and layer with sliced chicken drizzled generously with hot honey sauce. Serve warm and enjoy every bite as flavors mingle delightfully.

Now that you have your Hot Honey Chicken Biscuits prepared, get ready for some serious flavor action! These biscuits are not just food; they’re pure joy on a plate!
