- Put the dough on a floured surface. If it’s too dry, add a bit more buttermilk.

- Put the cooked chicken breast and a drizzle of hot honey on one half.
- Put the other half of the biscuit on top to make a sandwich.

Notes
- Dry the chicken with a paper towel so the batter sticks better.
- Give the chicken a little tap to shake off the extra coating.
- Don’t put too much chicken in the pan at once, or it won’t cook right.
- Use ready-made biscuit dough for a faster version.
- Make it spicy by mixing hot sauce into the buttermilk before dipping the chicken.

How Do I Store Leftover Honey Butter Chicken Biscuits?
Put the extra honey butter chicken biscuits in a sealed container and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you want to have them again, just wrap one in a damp paper towel and microwave it for about a minute. If it’s not warm enough, microwave it a little longer in 30-second steps until it’s heated through.
What Kind of Butter Should I Use For Biscuits?
It’s best to use unsalted butter for baking so you can control the saltiness. But some recipes might use a little salted butter too.
Can I Use Oil Instead of Butter For Biscuits?
No, it’s not a good idea. Oil won’t work well in recipes where you need to cut cold, solid butter into the dry ingredients, like biscuits. It can make the dough too wet. Stick to butter for biscuits, scones, and pie pastry.
