make me

Ingredients 

Serving size: 2 sandwiches

For the Fried Chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

  • 1 egg (beaten)

  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • 1 tbsp hot sauce

  • Vegetable oil for frying (enough to fill the pan about 1-2 inches deep)

  • 2 buttermilk biscuits (store-bought, or see recipe for homemade here)

For the Honey Butter:

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)

  • 2 tbsp honey

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • A pinch of salt

For the Hot Butter:

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)

  • 2 tbsp hot sauce

  • A pinch of salt

Instructions 

1. Make the Honey Butter:

  • In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

2. Make the Hot Butter:

  • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, hot sauce, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until smooth. Set aside.

3. Prepare the Chicken:

  • In a shallow bowl, whisk the buttermilk, hot sauce and beaten egg together.

  • In another shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

  • Dip each piece of chicken first into the buttermilk mixture, then dredge it in the seasoned flour, making sure it’s fully coated.

3. Fry the Chicken:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, making sure there’s enough oil to cover about 1-2 inches of the chicken.

  • Fry the chicken pieces in batches, without overcrowding the pan, for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Remove the chicken and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

  • Brush each piece of chicken with your hot butter if you like extra heat

4. Assemble the Biscuit Sandwich:

  • Split biscuits in half.

  • Spread a generous amount of honey butter on the bottom half of each biscuit.

  • Place a piece of fried chicken on top, some more honey butter, then add the top biscuit.

  • Serve immediately while the biscuits and chicken are warm.
