Tips:
- To achieve crispy fried biscuits, ensure your oil is at the right temperature (350°F) before adding the biscuits. Use a deep fryer or candy thermometer to accurately measure the oil temperature.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan when frying the biscuits. Cook them in batches if necessary to prevent them from sticking together and becoming soggy.
- For a richer, more flavorful gravy, use a combination of chicken broth and milk. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or cream cheese for a creamy texture.
- Season the gravy to your liking. Common seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. You can also add herbs like thyme, rosemary, or sage for extra flavor.
- Serve the chicken-fried biscuits and gravy immediately while they are hot and crispy. Garnish with chopped chives, parsley, or green onions for a pop of color and freshness.
