Here's everything you need for these savory fried chicken biscuits with honey. This recipe makes eight sandwiches.

Ingredients to Follow

2 (8- to 10-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon no-salt onion powder
1/2 teaspoon no-salt garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
1 cup vegetable oil
8 large biscuits (at least 3 inches wide), preferably warm
Honey, for drizzling
Sliced pickles, for serving (optional)

Directions to Follow

Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally (also known as butterflying), then cut each piece in half crosswise (you should now have 8 pieces). Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.

Whisk the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne together in a pie plate or large, shallow dish. Place the buttermilk in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper.

Dredge the chicken: Pick up a piece of chicken, lightly dredge in the flour mixture until coated all over, and place on a baking sheet. Repeat until all the chicken is coated. Next, dip one piece of floured chicken into the buttermilk, let the excess drip off, dredge again in the flour mixture, and place back on the baking sheet. Repeat until all the chicken is dredged.

Now, heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large frying pan or cast iron skillet, heating the oil until it's shimmering. While you're doing this, place a wire rack on a baking sheet, and then when the oil is ready, place four of the chicken pieces in it and fry for about 2 minutes per side or until the chicken is golden-brown and cooked all the way through. When the chicken is done, place it on the wire rack and add salt, and then repeat the entire process with the rest of the chicken. Finally, split the biscuits and put a piece of chicken on the cut side of each of the bottom portions of the biscuits and then drizzle with honey and top with the optional pickles before putting the top on the sandwich.

Wow! This is certainly the right way to start off the day. These sandwiches make an amazing breakfast, but they're also idea for lunch or just as a nice hearty snack. Delicious!
