Ingredients needed

This is a simple way to make this recipe with just a few ingredients. Scroll down to find the full recipe.

• Chicken – Use frozen chicken tenders, chicken strips, or even frozen chicken nuggets.
• Biscuits – I love using frozen biscuits for this recipe. They bake up really well and taste like homemade. You can substitute with canned biscuits or homemade biscuits.
• Honey – Sweet honey compliments the salty fried chicken.
• Butter – You can use unsalted or salted butter for this recipe.
• Hot Sauce – This is an optional ingredient but adds a nice little bit of heat. You can use hot sauce like Tabasco or Texas Pete. You could also substitute with a pinch of cayenne pepper.

How to make honey butter chicken biscuits

Step one: Bake biscuits and the chicken according to package directions.

Step two: While the chicken and biscuits are cooking, make the honey butter by placing the butter and honey in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in 30 second intervals in the microwave until the butter is melted. Stir in a little hot sauce with the melted butter. Set aside until ready to assemble the biscuits.

Step three: Assemble the biscuit sandwiches by cutting each biscuit in half. Place a piece of chicken on top of the bottom half of the biscuit. Top with the honey mixture and then the top of the biscuit.

Variations

• Spice: Like your chicken spicy? Add a dash of hot sauce like Texas Pete or Tabasco. If you don’t like heat, leave out the hot sauce.
• Sweetness: Try substituting the honey with maple syrup.
• You could substitute with this easy cinnamon butter recipe.
• Chicken: Try making with grilled chicken or baked chicken tenders. Chicken patties also work well. This recipe is even great with a slice of pork tenderloin.
• Biscuit: Don’t have biscuits? Try making with waffles or Hawaiian rolls.

What to serve with honey butter chicken biscuits

Since these chicken sandwiches can be eaten any time of day, there is a wide variety of sides that pair well. A few favorites include:

• Macaroni and cheese
• Corn pudding
• French fries
• Slaw
• Hash brown casserole

Tips for success

• Honey: If you prefer more of a spread, you can slightly soften, (not melt), the butter and whip in the honey. Spread the whipped butter on each biscuit for serving.
• Serve: These honey biscuits can be a little messy. Try serving with a toothpick to hold them together and don’t forget a napkin!
• Store: If you have leftovers, store the biscuits and chicken separately from the extra honey butter. Keep in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Reheat the chicken and biscuits in the oven. Reheat the butter in the microwave.

I hope you enjoy this heartwarming chicken and biscuits recipe as much as I do.
