Biscuit Wrapped Fried Chicken 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.

OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN WITH BISCUITS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Spray 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray. In shallow bowl, stir 1/2 cup Bisquick mix, the salt, paprika and pepper. Coat chicken with Bisquick mixture; place skin sides down in pan. Bake 35 minutes.
• In medium bowl, stir all biscuit ingredients until soft dough forms.
• Turn chicken, pushing pieces to one side of pan. Drop dough by 8 (1/4-cup) spoonfuls into pan in single layer next to chicken. Bake about 15 minutes longer or until biscuits are light golden brown and juice of chicken is clear when thickest piece is cut to bone (170°F for breasts; 180°F for thighs and legs).

BARBECUE CHICKEN CHEDDAR BISCUITS

Steps:

• Make the barbecue spice blend: In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne, if using. (Store in an air-tight container or keep in the freezer in a resealable plastic bag.)
• Heat oven to 450 degrees, and prepare the chicken filling: Add the chicken to a small bowl with 2 teaspoons barbecue spice blend and 1 tablespoon water. (If using fried chicken or barbecue sauce, no need to add water.) Mix with a fork and set aside.
• Prepare the biscuits: Place the flour in a large bowl. Using a box grater, grate the frozen stick of butter into the bowl and cut it into the flour with a pastry cutter or fork until the consistency of coarse meal. Add the Cheddar and gently toss to combine.
• Add 3/4 cup of the buttermilk and stir just until combined. If the batter is very dry, add a little more buttermilk, a teaspoon at a time, until the consistency of a very thick batter. Do not overmix. The batter will be quite lumpy and sticky.
• Scoop a large (1/4 cup/2 ounce) mound into your lightly floured hand and make a small well. Add 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture to the biscuit and pinch the dough around to enclose it, being careful not to overwork the dough and melt the butter. Add the biscuit, pinched side down, to a rimmed nonstick baking sheet (or a parchment lined baking sheet or 12-inch cast iron pan). Repeat with the remaining dough and chicken. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.

FRIED CHICKEN BISCUIT SANDWICH RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Marinate the chicken: Generously season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then place in a large zip-top bag. Pour in 2 cups (480 G) of buttermilk and the pickle brine. Close the bag and place inside a large bowl. Marinate the chicken thighs in the refrigerator for 6 hours, or up to overnight.
• Make the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Using a pastry cutter or a fork, incorporate the butter into the dry ingredients, leaving large chunks.
• Slowly pour in the buttermilk and fold with a rubber spatula until a thick dough forms.
• Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and turn the dough out onto it. Bring the dough together into one large piece.
• Adding more flour as needed, roll the dough out with a rolling pin to about 1 inch (2 ½ cm) thick. Using a 3-inch (7 cm) round biscuit cutter or small glass, cut out 6 biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. It's okay if the biscuits are touching.
• Brush the biscuits with the melted butter and sprinkle with flaky salt. Reserve the remaining melted butter.
• Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Fry the chicken: Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Heat the canola oil in a large pot until it reaches 350°F (180°C). Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Add the buttermilk a bit at a time and stir with a rubber spatula to incorporate into the dry ingredients. It should be clumpy.
• Transfer a chicken thigh directly from the marinade to the flour mixture. Evenly coat the chicken all over, pressing to adhere the dry ingredients. Set on the wire rack and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Working 3 pieces at a time, add the chicken to the hot oil and cook until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally to make sure the chicken browns evenly. Remove from the oil and let drain on paper towels. Season with salt.
• Cut the biscuits in half and brush one side with the reserved melted butter. Top with a piece of fried chicken and the other half of the biscuit.
• Enjoy!
