Best 5 Fried Chicken And Biscuits With Pink Peppercorn Honey Butter Recipes

FRIED CHICKEN BISCUITS WITH HOT HONEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Prepare the biscuits: In a bowl, use a fork to mix the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add butter and use the fork to mash it into the flour until the mixture resembles large, lumpy crumbs. Stir in milk until a dough comes together.
• Flour your hands, then gently gather and knead the dough in the bowl for 2 to 3 minutes, or until it springs back slightly to the touch. (If the dough is sticky, sprinkle additional flour as needed.) Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap and rest dough in fridge for half hour.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, use a floured rolling pin to roll the dough to 1 to 1 1/2 inch thickness. Use a floured knife or round cutter to cut 6 biscuits, about 3 1/2 inches wide. Reroll the scraps and cut again as needed.
• Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they have puffed up and the tops are slightly golden. Let cool completely on a wired rack at room temperature. Transfer to an airtight container if not using until the next day.
• Prepare the chicken: Trim excess fat and any membranes from the meat, then lightly hammer the thickest parts of the thighs with a mallet or rolling pin. Season each side with salt.
• Mix flour, cayenne and salt in one wide bowl. Beat eggs in a second wide bowl, and place panko in a third. Dip each chicken thigh in flour, coating it all over and patting off the excess, then in egg, allowing extra egg to drip off, then in panko, making sure each thigh is entirely coated in bread crumbs, and using your hands to press loose crumbs into any places where they look scarce.
• In a large, heavy bottomed skillet, pour in oil to a 2-inch depth and heat to 350 degrees. Fry 2 thighs at a time, flipping them over every two minutes or so, until golden brown and crisp all over, about 8 minutes total. Transfer to a wire rack set over a paper towel-lined sheet pan and season lightly with salt. Let cool entirely at room temperature, at least 1 hour. At this point, you can assemble the sandwiches or transfer the rack to the fridge and leave the chicken uncovered overnight.
• Assemble the sandwiches: When both the chicken and biscuits have cooled (or the next day), mix together soft butter, honey and hot sauce until smooth. Cut open cooled biscuits, smear each cut side with honey butter, and sandwich with a piece of chicken. If traveling, loosely wrap each sandwich in a piece of parchment paper and pack side by side in a hard container, in a single layer, so the sandwiches aren't crushed. Serve with additional hot sauce and pickles on the side.

FRIED CHICKEN WITH HONEY-PINK PEPPERCORN SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk together the buttermilk, 2 tablespoons salt and the chili de arbol in a large bowl or large baking dish. Add the chicken and turn to coat.
• Stir together the flour, garlic and onion powders, paprika and cayenne in a large baking dish. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Pull the chicken out of the buttermilk, gently shaking off any excess liquid. Dredge the pieces a few at a time in the flour mixture and pat off any excess. Then dip back into the buttermilk and allow any excess to drain off. Dredge again in the seasoned flour and pat off the excess. Put the chicken pieces on a baking rack set over a baking sheet while the oil heats.
• Pour about 3 inches of oil into a deep cast-iron skillet; the oil should not come more than halfway up the sides of the skillet . Put the skillet over medium-high heat and heat the oil to 375 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
• Working in batches, add the chicken pieces to the hot oil, 3 or 4 at a time, and fry, turning the pieces occasionally, until evenly golden brown and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and transfer to a rack to drain; repeat to cook the remaining pieces.
• Drizzle the fried chicken with the Honey-Pink Peppercorn Sauce.
• Stir together the honey, peppercorns, lime zest and juice in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cover and let sit at room temperature.

FRIED CHICKEN AND BISCUITS WITH PINK PEPPERCORN-HONEY BUTTER

Steps:

• For pink peppercorn-lime honey:
• Place peppercorns in small skillet and stir over medium heat until slightly darker in color, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool in skillet. Using mortar with pestle, coarsely crush peppercorns. Transfer peppercorns to small bowl. Mix in honey, lime juice, lime peel, and 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt. Let stand at room temperature at least 30 minutes before using. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.
• For pink peppercorn-honey butter:
• Whisk all ingredients in small bowl. Cover; chill. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Bring to room temperature before using.
• For chicken:
• Whisk 4 cups buttermilk, 2 tablespoons coarse salt, and hot pepper sauce in large bowl. Add chicken; turn to coat and press to submerge. Cover and chill overnight. Drain and pat dry.
• Place rack on large rimmed baking sheet. Whisk flour and next 4 ingredients in another large bowl. Sprinkle chicken generously with salt and pepper. Divide flour mixture between 2 wide shallow bowls. Place 2 cups buttermilk in medium bowl between bowls of flour mixture.
• Dredge chicken, 1 piece at a time, in 1 bowl of flour mixture, then buttermilk, then in second bowl of flour, gently tapping off excess. Place on prepared rack and let airdry 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, place another rack on another large rimmed baking sheet. Pour enough oil into heavy large pot to reach depth of 1 1/2 to 2 inches. Attach deep-fry thermometer to side of pot. Heat oil over medium-high heat to 280°F to 300°F. Working with 3 chicken pieces at a time, fry until deep golden brown and cooked through, adjusting heat to maintain oil temperature, 12 to 14 minutes per batch. Transfer to clean rack on baking sheet.
• Place 2 chicken pieces on each plate. Place biscuits alongside chicken. Serve with pink-peppercorn butter and honey.

HONEY BUTTER CHICKEN BISCUIT

Steps:

• For the chicken: Trim the thighs of any excess fat or cartilage. Brine in the pickle juice at least 2 hours and up to overnight. Remove the chicken from the brine and submerge in the buttermilk. Let soak in the buttermilk for 30 minutes to an hour.
• For the dredge: Whisk together the potato starch, all-purpose flour, rice flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper and bullet chile in a bowl and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350 degrees F.
• Shake the excess buttermilk off the chicken and coat with the dredge. Press the dredge into the chicken as much as you can. Shake off the excess and fry for about 7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
• For the honey butter. Combine the honey and butter in a small pot and bring to a boil. As the butter melts, whisk so that everything comes together and emulsifies. Set aside.
• For the black pepper biscuits: Combine the flour, pepper, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Freeze the dry ingredients in the bowl and freeze the butter.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Grate the butter into the frozen bowl of dry mix using a cheese grater. (If you are not using it right away, store it at this stage in the freezer.) Combine the milk and sour cream into the bowl and mix with your hands until everything comes together. It is ok if it's lumpy; you don't want to overwork your dough.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out tennis ball-size scoops onto the baking sheet.
• Bake for 20 minutes, then rotate the baking sheet, reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F and bake until a nice pale gold, another 15 minutes. Brush with the honey butter while still hot and let cool down.
• For the chili honey butter: In a small pot, melt the butter and honey together. Whisk them together, then add the chili crisp, jalapeno juice and mushroom seasoning. Bring everything to a boil and set aside. Make sure to stir up before serving so that everything is well mixed.
• For the honey butter chicken biscuit: To assemble, split the biscuits in half, and place 2 slices of cheese on the top half of each biscuit. Toast until the biscuit is warm and the cheese is melted. Top the lower half of each biscuit with a fried chicken thigh and then pour as much chili honey butter as you can handle over the top of the chicken. You can also toss the chicken in a bowl with the honey butter first. Then put on the top half of each biscuit and enjoy.
