how to serve Hot Honey Chicken Biscuits
Serve these delicious biscuits warm, with the crispy chicken nestled between the flaky biscuits. Drizzle with the spicy hot honey right before serving for that perfect flavor punch. They’re great on their own, but feel free to add a side of fresh fruit or scrambled eggs to round out the meal.
how to store Hot Honey Chicken Biscuits
If you have leftovers (though I doubt you will!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warmed through. This will help to keep the biscuits nice and flaky.
tips to make Hot Honey Chicken Biscuits
- For extra flaky biscuits, handle the dough as little as possible when rolling it out.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for frying the chicken for even cooking and extra crunch.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of hot sauce in the marinade to suit your spice level.
variation
You can easily make these biscuits with your favorite spices. Try adding garlic powder or onion powder to the flour mixture for an extra flavor kick. You can also substitute the chicken for seasoned tofu for a vegetarian option that tastes just as amazing!
