Instructions
Honey Buttermilk Biscuits
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Whisk flour, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and 1/4 cup honey until combined; set aside.
Using a box grater, grate 12 tablespoons butter into flour mixture. Cut the butter gently into the flour mixture with your hands or a pastry cutter, until it forms small pea-sized balls. Add buttermilk-honey mixture and gently fold until a soft dough is formed.
Turn dough onto a floured work surface. Form it into a rectangle that is approximately 1/2 inch thick. Fold one side into the center, then the other side. Turn the dough so it’s long horizontally, then gently flatten and repeat the folding.
Repeat the process a third time, then flatten dough into an 8x8 square, about 1 inch thick. Use a bench scraper to cut the dough into 6 equal squares, then place biscuits 3 inches apart prepared baking sheet. Brush each biscuit with buttermilk.
Bake 18-20 minutes, until puffy and mostly baked. Melt remaining butter and honey in a small pan and brush over hot biscuits. Return to oven for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
Air Fryer Fried Chicken
Mix breadcrumbs, parmesan, paprika, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.
Spray chicken breasts with olive or avocado oil spray, then roll in breadcrumb mixture to coat.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray, then place chicken in basket. Cook 15-16 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and 165 degrees F internally.
Hot Honey Sauce
Combine the honey, hot sauce and pepper flakes in a small bowl and stir to combine.
Split biscuits and place chicken on bottom half. Drizzle with honey, sprinkle with chives, and crown with top half of biscuit.
