Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Marinate the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 1 hour to tenderize.

  2. 2

    Coat the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Remove chicken from buttermilk and coat in the flour mixture.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Make the Buffalo Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt butter and mix with hot sauce, adding roasted chili flakes for flavor. Toss the fried chicken in the sauce until coated.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce

    In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Place over a double boiler and slowly whisk in melted butter until thickened.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Benedict

    Split the buttermilk biscuits in half. Place the bottom half on a plate, add a piece of hot chicken, drizzle with ranch dressing, and top with hollandaise sauce and bleu cheese crumbles. Finish with the biscuit top.
