Chicken In A Biscuit Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   Marinate the chicken thighs in buttermilk for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

2. 2

   Make the Biscuit Dough

   In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk until just combined, then turn onto a floured surface and knead gently. Roll out to 1-inch thickness and cut out biscuits.

3. 3

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Fry the Chicken

   Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Dredge marinated chicken in flour and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.

5. 5

   Bake the Biscuits

   Place the biscuit dough on a baking sheet and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden.

6. 6

   Prepare the Sausage Gravy

   In the same skillet used for bacon, add sausage and cook until browned. Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir to combine. Slowly add milk, stirring constantly until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

7. 7

   Cook the Eggs

   In a separate pan, fry the eggs over easy until the whites are set but yolks remain runny.

8. 8

   Assemble the Dish

   On a plate, place a biscuit, top with fried chicken, crispy bacon, cheddar cheese, a generous ladle of sausage gravy, and an over-easy egg on top.
