FRIED CHICKEN BISCUITS WITH HOT HONEY BUTTER
This recipe for chicken biscuits could be a weeknight dinner with a side of greens, but it's made to travel, and perfectly suited for a picnic. The biscuit dough, adapted from Sam Sifton's all-purpose biscuit recipe, is lightly kneaded here, so it's not too tender to work in a sandwich. The chicken tenders, inspired by Masaharu Morimoto's katsu in the cookbook "Mastering the Art of Japanese Home Cooking," are pounded and coated in panko for plenty of crunch. Prepare both components the day you want to eat them, giving yourself at least one extra hour for everything to cool before you assemble, so the sandwich stays crisp. You can also cook well in advance, and assemble the sandwiches the next day. Either way, cooling the chicken completely, on a wire rack, is crucial. If you prefer breast meat over thigh, feel free to swap it in.

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.

RED HOT BISCUITS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine baking mix, red pepper, and 1/2 t. garlic. With fork, stir in milk and cheese until mixture forms a soft dough. Drop down by 1/4 cupfull onto greased cookie sheet. Combine butter and remaining garlic powder. Brush on dough tops. Bake 10-12 minutes
Tips:
- Choose the right flour: All-purpose flour is the most common type of flour used for biscuits, but you can also use self-rising flour or a blend of the two. Self-rising flour contains baking powder and salt, so you don't need to add those ingredients separately.
- Use cold butter: Cold butter is essential for flaky biscuits. If the butter is too warm, it will melt into the flour and make the biscuits tough.
- Work the dough quickly: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Gently mix the ingredients until they are just combined.
- Don't over-roll the dough: Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. If the dough is too thin, the biscuits will be dry and crumbly. If the dough is too thick, the biscuits will be dense and doughy.
- Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: The biscuits should be baked in a preheated oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help them to rise quickly and evenly.
Conclusion:
Biscuits are a delicious and versatile food that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They can be served with butter, honey, jam, or gravy. Biscuits can also be used to make sandwiches, sliders, and other dishes. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect biscuits every time.
