# Steps To Follow:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 220°C. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Add the cold buttermilk and stir gently until just combined. Roll out dough to 2.5 cm thickness and cut into rounds. Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
02 -
Marinate the chicken thighs or breasts in buttermilk with hot sauce (if using) for 30 minutes. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Remove the chicken from the marinade and coat thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing to adhere. Heat oil in a deep pan to 175°C. Fry the chicken until golden and crisp, about 5–6 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
03 -
Slice the warm biscuits in half. Place a piece of fried chicken on the bottom half of each biscuit. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream over the chicken and drizzle generously with honey. Cap with the remaining biscuit halves and serve immediately.
# Notes and Tips:
01 -
Keep all ingredients, especially butter and buttermilk, very cold when making biscuits to ensure a flaky texture.
02 -
Monitor oil temperature carefully when frying to achieve a crispy exterior without greasiness.
03 -
Assemble and serve the sandwich immediately to maintain optimal biscuit texture and ice cream integrity.
