Southern Chicken Biscuit Recipe

Preparation and Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Bake the Biscuits

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until just combined. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead gently. Roll out to about 1-inch thick and cut into circles. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

2. 2

   Fry the Chicken

   Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and let rest.

3. 3

   Cook the Bacon and Eggs

   In the same skillet, fry the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook sunny-side up or to your desired doneness.

4. 4

   Assemble the Biscuit

   Split the baked biscuits in half. Layer one half with a fried chicken breast, a slice of bacon, a fried egg, and a generous handful of sharp cheddar cheese. Top with the other half of the biscuit.

5. 5

   Serve with Chorizo Gravy

   Prepare chorizo gravy by cooking chorizo in a skillet until browned and crumbled. Add flour, whisk in milk, and cook until thickened. Serve the biscuit sandwich with a side of chorizo gravy.
