Ingredients
Scale
- For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup cold, unsalted Butter
- 3/4 cup Milk (plant-based milk can be used)
- For the Chicken:

- 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup Hot Honey

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the milk, stirring gently until the dough just comes together.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead lightly until smooth, pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle, and cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter or glass.
- Place the biscuits on a lined baking sheet, close but not touching, and bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden.
- While biscuits bake, season chicken breasts with cayenne pepper and salt.
- Cook the seasoned chicken in a skillet over medium heat for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through.
- Remove chicken from the pan and drizzle generously with hot honey, letting it soak in for a few minutes.
- Slice open a warm biscuit, place a piece of hot honey chicken inside, and garnish with extra hot honey and fresh herbs.
