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.

This recipe is a fail. The chicken was burnt and the biscuits were raw.
