Method
Chicken Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine chicken thighs and buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
- 2
Prepare the Frying Mixture
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, salt, black pepper, and Nashville hot seasoning rub.
- 3
Fry the Chicken
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the seasoned flour mixture. Fry the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
Biscuit Preparation
- 4
Make the Biscuit Dough
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk until just combined.
- 5
Shape and Bake the Biscuits
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Roll it out to about 1-inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a round cutter. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Potato Preparation

Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Cook the Potatoes
Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet and roast in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until crispy and golden, tossing halfway through.
