Method
Preparation of Biscuits
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line or lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Combine 2 cups flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the cold cubed butter and work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
- Pour in 3/4 cup milk and stir gently until the dough just comes together. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, pat to about 3/4-inch thickness, and cut into rounds.
- Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden on top. Remove and keep warm.
Preparation of Chicken
- In a bowl, place chicken strips and cover with 1 cup buttermilk. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to tenderize and season the meat.
- When ready to fry, mix 1 cup flour with 1 teaspoon paprika and salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove chicken from the buttermilk, letting excess drip off, and dredge each strip in the seasoned flour until coated. Shake off excess.
- Heat oil in a skillet to about 350°F. Fry chicken in batches for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature 165°F). Drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
Preparation of Hot Honey
- Warm 1/2 cup honey in a small saucepan over low heat, then stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons hot sauce until combined and warm but not boiling.
Assembly
- Split the biscuits, place a fried chicken strip inside each, and drizzle generously with hot honey. Serve immediately while biscuits are warm and honey is runny.

Notes
If you want a lighter biscuit, swap half of the milk for buttermilk. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for both the biscuits and dredge, but expect slightly different texture.
