Equipment

  • large mixing bowl
  • heavy-bottomed cast iron pan or Dutch oven
  • stand mixer with whisk attachment

Ingredients
  

Fried Chicken

  • 2 cups low-fat buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • Vegetable oil as needed for frying

Hot Honey Butter

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter softened at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce of choice e.g., Crystal hot sauce

For Serving

  • 4 pieces Buttermilk biscuits split in half lengthwise and warmed
  • Bread and butter pickles as needed

Instructions
 

Fried Chicken Preparation

  • Add the buttermilk and salt to a large mixing bowl and whisk until combined. Add the chicken thighs and submerge in the buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  • When ready to fry, add the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, cayenne, and paprika to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Fill a large, heavy bottomed cast iron pan or Dutch oven with enough vegetable oil to reach 1” up the pan. Heat the oil to 350ºF.
  • Working one piece at a time, remove chicken from marinade and dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off excess flour.
  • Fry in the oil until the chicken is golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes total. Remove the fried chicken from the oil and place on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet or a paper towel lined plate to drain the excess oil.

Hot Honey Butter Preparation

  • Add the butter, honey, and hot sauce to the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment and whisk until completely combined and smooth. If you don’t have a mixer you can beat the ingredients together by hand.

Serving

  • Add a chicken thigh to each biscuit and top with a tablespoon of the hot honey butter and pickles. Close and serve immediately.
