Fried Chicken Biscuits With Hot Honey Butter Food

FRIED CHICKEN BISCUITS WITH ROSEMARY HOT HONEY

Steps:

• Prepare the Rosemary Hot Honey: Combine honey, chile slices, and rosemary sprig in a small saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium-low. Reduce heat to low, and cook until flavors have infused, about 1 hour. Pour through a fine wire-mesh strainer, and discard solids. Keep at room temperature until ready to use.
• Prepare the Fried Chicken: Combine buttermilk, garlic, celery seeds, black pepper, and 4 teaspoons of the salt in a shallow dish; add chicken thighs, and rub to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 4 hours, turning occasionally.
• Combine flour, paprika, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt in a separate shallow dish. Remove chicken from marinade; discard remaining marinade. Dredge chicken in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Place chicken on a plate.
• Heat oil to 325°F in a large cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven. Add chicken, in batches, and cook until deep golden brown and crisp and a thermometer inserted into thickest portion of chicken registers 165°F, 15 to 17 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate lined with paper towels.
• Prepare the Biscuits: Preheat oven to 450°F. Place butter and 1 tablespoon Rosemary Hot Honey in an 8- x 8-inch microwave-safe baking dish. Microwave on HIGH until butter melts, about 90 seconds. Combine flour and baking powder in a medium bowl; add buttermilk, and stir until a loose dough forms. (Batter will be a bit sticky.) Transfer dough to prepared baking dish, spreading evenly with a knife or the back of a spoon. (Butter will run over the top of the dough.) Score biscuit dough to make 9 squares. Bake in preheated oven until golden brown and top springs back when touched, 20 to 25 minutes. Cut into squares, and serve with Fried Chicken and remaining Rosemary Hot Honey.

FRIED CHICKEN BISCUITS WITH HOT HONEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Prepare the biscuits: In a bowl, use a fork to mix the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add butter and use the fork to mash it into the flour until the mixture resembles large, lumpy crumbs. Stir in milk until a dough comes together.
• Flour your hands, then gently gather and knead the dough in the bowl for 2 to 3 minutes, or until it springs back slightly to the touch. (If the dough is sticky, sprinkle additional flour as needed.) Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap and rest dough in fridge for half hour.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, use a floured rolling pin to roll the dough to 1 to 1 1/2 inch thickness. Use a floured knife or round cutter to cut 6 biscuits, about 3 1/2 inches wide. Reroll the scraps and cut again as needed.
• Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they have puffed up and the tops are slightly golden. Let cool completely on a wired rack at room temperature. Transfer to an airtight container if not using until the next day.
• Prepare the chicken: Trim excess fat and any membranes from the meat, then lightly hammer the thickest parts of the thighs with a mallet or rolling pin. Season each side with salt.
• Mix flour, cayenne and salt in one wide bowl. Beat eggs in a second wide bowl, and place panko in a third. Dip each chicken thigh in flour, coating it all over and patting off the excess, then in egg, allowing extra egg to drip off, then in panko, making sure each thigh is entirely coated in bread crumbs, and using your hands to press loose crumbs into any places where they look scarce.
• In a large, heavy bottomed skillet, pour in oil to a 2-inch depth and heat to 350 degrees. Fry 2 thighs at a time, flipping them over every two minutes or so, until golden brown and crisp all over, about 8 minutes total. Transfer to a wire rack set over a paper towel-lined sheet pan and season lightly with salt. Let cool entirely at room temperature, at least 1 hour. At this point, you can assemble the sandwiches or transfer the rack to the fridge and leave the chicken uncovered overnight.
• Assemble the sandwiches: When both the chicken and biscuits have cooled (or the next day), mix together soft butter, honey and hot sauce until smooth. Cut open cooled biscuits, smear each cut side with honey butter, and sandwich with a piece of chicken. If traveling, loosely wrap each sandwich in a piece of parchment paper and pack side by side in a hard container, in a single layer, so the sandwiches aren't crushed. Serve with additional hot sauce and pickles on the side.

FRIED CHICKEN BISCUITS

Steps:

• For chicken cutlets:
• Combine buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, black pepper, and cayenne in a resealable plastic bag; add chicken. Seal bag, turn to coat, and chill at least 3 hours.
• DO AHEAD: Chicken can be marinated 8 hours ahead. Keep chilled.
• For honey butter and assembly:
• Mix butter, honey, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl until smooth; set honey butter aside.
• Pour oil into a large skillet, preferably cast iron, to a depth of 1/2" and heat over medium-high heat until oil bubbles immediately when a little panko is added.
• Meanwhile, place panko in a shallow bowl. Remove chicken from marinade; season with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in panko, shaking off excess. Working in 2 batches and maintaining oil temperature, fry chicken until golden brown, crisp, and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
• Split biscuits and spread each side with 1 tablespoon reserved honey butter. Build sandwiches with biscuits, chicken, and hot sauce.

HONEY BUTTER CHICKEN BISCUIT

Steps:

• For the chicken: Trim the thighs of any excess fat or cartilage. Brine in the pickle juice at least 2 hours and up to overnight. Remove the chicken from the brine and submerge in the buttermilk. Let soak in the buttermilk for 30 minutes to an hour.
• For the dredge: Whisk together the potato starch, all-purpose flour, rice flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper and bullet chile in a bowl and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350 degrees F.
• Shake the excess buttermilk off the chicken and coat with the dredge. Press the dredge into the chicken as much as you can. Shake off the excess and fry for about 7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
• For the honey butter. Combine the honey and butter in a small pot and bring to a boil. As the butter melts, whisk so that everything comes together and emulsifies. Set aside.
• For the black pepper biscuits: Combine the flour, pepper, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Freeze the dry ingredients in the bowl and freeze the butter.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Grate the butter into the frozen bowl of dry mix using a cheese grater. (If you are not using it right away, store it at this stage in the freezer.) Combine the milk and sour cream into the bowl and mix with your hands until everything comes together. It is ok if it's lumpy; you don't want to overwork your dough.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out tennis ball-size scoops onto the baking sheet.
• Bake for 20 minutes, then rotate the baking sheet, reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F and bake until a nice pale gold, another 15 minutes. Brush with the honey butter while still hot and let cool down.
• For the chili honey butter: In a small pot, melt the butter and honey together. Whisk them together, then add the chili crisp, jalapeno juice and mushroom seasoning. Bring everything to a boil and set aside. Make sure to stir up before serving so that everything is well mixed.
• For the honey butter chicken biscuit: To assemble, split the biscuits in half, and place 2 slices of cheese on the top half of each biscuit. Toast until the biscuit is warm and the cheese is melted. Top the lower half of each biscuit with a fried chicken thigh and then pour as much chili honey butter as you can handle over the top of the chicken. You can also toss the chicken in a bowl with the honey butter first. Then put on the top half of each biscuit and enjoy.
