This honey butter chicken biscuit recipe is made with delicious fluffy buttermilk biscuits with fried, crispy, chicken tenders, seasoned perfectly, and topped with honey butter. A delicious chicken and biscuit recipe that has the perfect amount of sweetness and crunch in every bite.

Chicken and biscuits are one of the most delicious combinations I can think of. When I’m out early in the morning, I’ll frequently stop at our local fast food joint to grab a chicken and biscuit sandwich for breakfast. And while those are good, there’s nothing like a homemade version to really show you what chicken and biscuits are supposed to taste like. I make this recipe with fried chicken and honey butter biscuits for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I also love to eat the leftovers the next day for an afternoon snack – assuming there are any leftovers, that is. They’re just so delicious and a lot easier to make than you’d think. These are a particularly great treat on the weekend when you want to serve something extra special.
Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit
This delicious recipe features perfectly fried chicken breast strips that are golden brown and crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. Then I top them with honey butter sauce and place them between two halves of delicious homemade buttermilk biscuits. The flavor is phenomenal, and it’s a fairly easy recipe, especially if you go the semi-homemade route and use store-bought biscuits. I do that from time to time.

Tips

- Use refrigerated biscuit dough to make a faster version of this recipe.
- Add hot sauce to the buttermilk mixture to make a spicy honey butter chicken biscuit.
