Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 3 cup buttermilk, cold

• 2 pieces chicken breast, halved horizontally
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 cup buttermilk

Method

1. 01
   Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. 02
   For the biscuits, mix the sifted flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk until just combined.
3. 03
   Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead gently, and roll out to 1/2-inch thick. Cut into 8 biscuits and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
4. 04
   For the fried chicken, mix flour, paprika, and cayenne in a bowl. Dip chicken pieces in buttermilk, then coat with the flour mixture.
5. 05
   Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken until golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
6. 06
   For the hot honey, combine honey, hot sauce, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan. Warm over low heat until well combined. Set aside.
7. 07
   To assemble, split the biscuits and layer each with a piece of fried chicken, a slice of cheddar cheese, lettuce, and a tomato slice.
8. 08
   Drizzle each sandwich generously with the hot honey before serving.
