Mile-High Biscuit Sandwiches with Sweet Heat Hot Chicken

Ingredients

Makes 9 biscuits

Sweet Hot Chicken

1 c. all-purpose flour

3/4 c. yellow cornmeal

2 tsp. baking powder

2 tsp. cayenne pepper

2 tsp. Kosher salt

2 tsp. Freshly ground black pepper

2 c. Buttermilk

5 chicken cutlets (about 1 lb.) halved crosswise

7 c. vegetable oil

1/4 c. hot sauce (your favorite brand...Franks is mine!)

3 tbsp. Honey

Mile-High Biscuits*** 

4 c. all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, plus more for working

4 tsp. baking powder

1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt

1 tsp. baking soda

1 c. cold unsalted butter, cut up

1 1/2 c. Buttermilk

Directions

Sweet Heat Hot Chicken

Whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, cayenne, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Pour buttermilk into a separate bowl. Working with one piece at a time, toss chicken in flour mixture, dip in buttermilk, then toss again in flour mixture. Transfer to a plate.

Set a wire rack over a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Heat 1 1/2 inches oil in a Dutch oven to 360°F. Fry chicken, in batches and turning occasionally, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to prepared rack.

Whisk together hot sauce and honey in a bowl. Drizzle warm chicken with hot sauce mixture. 

Mile High Biscuits***

Preheat oven to 450°F. 

Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a bowl. Cut butter into flour with a pastry blender or two forks until mixture resembles small peas. Stir in buttermilk with a fork until dough begins to form a ball. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface, knead 2 or 3 times, adding additional flour as needed to prevent sticking.

With floured hands, pat dough into a 1-inch-thick square (8 to 9 inches). Cut dough into 4 squares and stack on one another. Roll stacked dough into a 1-inch- thick square, repeat 3 more times. With a floured knife, trim around sides of dough to create clean edges. Cut into 9 biscuits. Place biscuits gently on a baking sheet. Chill 15 minutes.

Bake biscuits until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.

Split biscuits and serve with Sweet Heat Hot Chicken.

Make Ahead.  You certainly can make the chicken ahead of time and refrigerate until you are ready to make the sandwiches. Making the chicken that day will certainly make them a little more crispy, but they will still be delicious when you drizzle them with the reserved hot sauce mixture.

Mile High Biscuits.  Visit your local grocery store and buy pre-made biscuits either thaw and bake or poppin' fresh!
