Southern Fried Chicken Biscuit Platter* Recipe

Prepare the Chicken

In a bowl, mix buttermilk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Soak the chicken fillets in the mixture for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Biscuits

In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk gradually until a soft dough forms. Roll out and cut into rounds.

Fry the Chicken

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Dredge the soaked chicken in flour and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Bake the Biscuits

Place the biscuit rounds on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 12-15 minutes or until golden.

Prepare the Gravy

In a skillet, melt 2 tbs of butter and stir in 2 tbs of flour. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, bring to a simmer and cook until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook the Eggs and Bacon

In a separate skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. In the same skillet, cook the eggs to your preference (scrambled, fried, etc.).

Assemble the Platter

Slice the biscuits in half, place a chicken fillet and a slice of American cheese inside each. Top with gravy and serve with eggs, bacon, and choice of hash browns, breakfast potatoes, or fruit.
