HONEY-BUTTER BAKED CHICKEN WITH MASHED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange a rack inside a large roasting pan and set aside.
• Season the chicken both inside and out with the kosher salt and black pepper.
• In a small bowl, combine the honey, lemon zest and juice and butter. Place the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan breast side up and roast until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Using a pastry brush, brush half of the honey mixture over the chicken, as well as sprinkling half the thyme over the chicken and return the chicken to the oven. Continue to cook another 30 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh registers 180 degrees F. Remove the chicken from the oven and brush the remaining honey blend and sprinkle the remainder of the thyme over the chicken.
• Remove the chicken from the oven and transfer to a platter or cutting board to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
• To serve, spoon the sweet potatoes into the center of 4 large plates and arrange the chicken on top. Drizzle the chicken with any remaining pan juices and serve immediately with the sweet potatoes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the potatoes on a foil lined baking sheet and bake until tender and begins to ooze sugary syrup, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle.
• Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh with a spoon into a large bowl. Add the cream, sugar, butter, syrup, salt and pepper, and thyme, if using and mix, mashing until the potato mixture is smooth. Cover to keep warm until ready to serve.

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.
