Preparation
  1. Marinate the chicken in buttermilk and hot sauce for at least 1 hour.
  2. In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until crumbly.
  3. Add milk gradually to form a dough. Roll out and cut into biscuits.

Notes

For extra flaky biscuits, handle the dough as little as possible. Use a cast-iron skillet for even frying. Adjust hot sauce to suit your taste.
