Southern Fried Chicken & Biscuits Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   In a bowl, soak the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, to tenderize.

2. 2

   Mix the Dry Ingredients

   In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and baking powder.

3. 3

   Bread the Chicken

   Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture until fully coated.

4. 4

   Fry the Chicken

   Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Make the Biscuits

   Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk until just combined.

6. 6

   Bake the Biscuits

   Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead gently, and roll out to 1-inch thickness. Cut into rounds and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.

7. 7

   Prepare Garlic Breakfast Potatoes

   In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add cubed potatoes and cook until tender and golden, about 10-12 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.

8. 8

   Prepare Honey Butter

   In a small bowl, mix softened butter and honey until well combined. Serve with the biscuits.

9. 9

   Plate the Dish

   Serve the crispy fried chicken on the freshly baked biscuits with garlic breakfast potatoes on the side, and drizzle with honey butter.
