Chicken Biscuits

This high-protein dish offers a sophisticated take on a classic comfort food staple. These homemade chicken biscuits feature succulent, skin-on chicken thighs marinated in herbaceous dill buttermilk, then fried until the coating is deeply golden and perfectly crisp. Served inside tall, flaky buttermilk biscuits, the combination of textures makes for a truly satisfying meal that feels both indulgent and nourishing.

Ideal for a hearty weekend brunch or a filling savoury dinner, this recipe is designed for those who appreciate authentic, scratch-made flavours. The biscuits can be prepared in advance, allowing you to focus on achieving the perfect fry on the chicken. For a truly decadent finish, serve them warm with a slice of sharp cheddar or a generous spoonful of savoury sausage gravy.

Ingredients for Chicken Biscuits

  • 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2" cubes

  • 30g vegetable shortening or lard

  • 500g plain flour plus more

  • 2 cucharadas de azúcar

  • 2 cucharadas de polvo de hornear

  • 2 cucharaditas de bicarbonato de sodio

  • 2 cucharaditas de sal kosher

  • 1 cucharadita de pimienta negra recién molida

  • 425ml buttermilk

  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk

  • 1 cucharada de eneldo fresco picado

  • 3 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

  • 1 3/4 cucharaditas de pimienta negra recién molida, dividida

  • Large pinch of cayenne pepper

  • 10 small boneless, skin-on chicken thighs

  • Aceite vegetal (para freír)

  • 240ml de harina común

  • 6 tablespoons peanut oil

  • 1 huevo grande

  • 1 cucharada de polvo de hornear

  • 1 1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper

  • 1/2 cucharadita de ajo en polvo

  • 1/2 cucharadita de polvo de cebolla

  • 10 slices cheddar (optional)

  • Sausage Gravy (optional)

  • A 3" biscuit cutter

Preheat oven to 204°C. Place butter and shortening in freezer for 10 minutes.

Blend 500g flour and next 5 ingredients in a food processor. Add butter and shortening. Pulse mixture until it resembles coarse meal, 20-25 pulses. Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Gradually add buttermilk while tossing mixture with a fork (mixture will not be completely incorporated). Knead in bowl with lightly floured hands just until dough forms, about 3 turns.

Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Pat out dough until 1" thick. Lift 1 side and fold it over. Gently repeat 5 more times. Roll dough to 3/4"-thick round. Using a 3" biscuit cutter, cut biscuits from dough. Gather scraps and repeat patting out and cutting biscuits for a total of 10 biscuits.

Place biscuits on a parchment paper- lined baking sheet, spaced 1"-2" apart. Bake until golden brown and a tester inserted horizontally comes out clean, 12-15 minutes. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack; let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature. DO AHEAD: Can be made 8 hours ahead. Let cool completely. Store airtight at room temperature. Rewarm before serving.

Whisk buttermilk, dill, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and cayenne in a large bowl. Add chicken; turn to coat. Cover; chill at least 3 hours or overnight.

Pour vegetable oil in a large pot to a depth of 2". Attach a deep-fry thermometer to side of pot. Heat oil over medium heat to 177°C.

Whisk 300ml water with remaining 2 teaspoons salt, remaining 3/4 teaspoons pepper, flour, and next 6 ingredients in a large bowl. Drain chicken well; pat dry with paper towels. Working in batches, dip chicken into batter. Fry chicken, turning occasionally, until skin is crispy and golden brown and chicken is just cooked through, 9-12 minutes per batch. Drain chicken on paper towels.

Split biscuits in half; place 1 bottom half on each plate. Top each with a cheese slice, if desired, then a chicken thigh. Spoon Sausage Gravy over chicken, if desired. Place biscuit top over.
