Prepare the Biscuit Dough

Shape and Bake the Biscuits
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead 3-4 times. Pat the dough to about 1-inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a round cutter. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.

Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken thighs in a bowl and cover with buttermilk. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for best results.

Dredge and Fry the Chicken
In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Remove chicken from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
