ㅤ Buttermilk Biscuits

Directions:

【Marinade】 Step 1:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk, hot sauce, and salt.

【Marinade】 Step 2:

Add the chicken to the plastic bag and add marinade, seal shut, and let marinate for 1-2 hours.

【Coating】Step 1:

Incorporate the cajun spice blend with the flour set aside.

【Coating】Step 2:

Drain the chicken pieces from the marinade and shake off excess liquid.

【Coating】Step 3:

Immerse each piece of chicken into the flour blend and thoroughly coat all over.

【Coating】Step 4:

Lay the chicken pieces apart on a resting rack and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Note:

You should start to see a change from a dry coating to a tacky coating that will feel sticky to touch so its best not to cover your chicken with plastic at this stage. after 1 hour or even overnight if you have time the chicken coating will have firmed up, ready for frying.

【Honey Butter】

Combine the room temperature butter with the honey.

【 Buttermilk Biscuits】Step 1:

Preheat your oven to 425°F/218°C.

【 Buttermilk Biscuits】Step 2:

Grate butter on the largest shredding hole of your cheese grater.

【 Buttermilk Biscuits】Step 3:

in a large bowl combine all dry ingredients: sifted flour, baking soda, baking powder sea salt, and sugar.

【 Buttermilk Biscuits】Step 4:

Finish with the buttermilk and cold butter combining with your hands until you reach a soft dough.

【 Buttermilk Biscuits】Step 5:

Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface.

【 Buttermilk Biscuits】Step 6:

Gently knead the dough by folding it over 1/4 into itself 3-4 times, be careful not to overwork the dough.

【 Buttermilk Biscuits】Step 7:

Shape out out the dough with your hands you get approx 1.5 inch thickness. mold into rounds.

【 Buttermilk Biscuits】Step 8:

Make sure the biscuits are touching each other slightly, this will help them to rise in the oven.

【 Buttermilk Biscuits】Step 9:

Return to the fridge for 20 minutes to let the butter firm up again.

【 Buttermilk Biscuits】Step 10:

Take the biscuits out of the fridge and bake for 8 minutes.

【 Buttermilk Biscuits】Step 11:

Pull the biscuits out of the oven brush evenly with the honey butter.

【 Buttermilk Biscuits】Step 12:

Lightly sprinkle each biscuit with some sea salt.

【 Buttermilk Biscuits】Step 13:

Pull the biscuits out of the oven brush evenly with the honey butter one more time.

【 Buttermilk Biscuits】Step 14:

Return the biscuits to the oven for a further 4 minutes or until they reach a lovely golden color.

【Frying】Step 1:

Allow the chicken to come to room temperature before frying. Heat the oil to 350°F/180°C. When the internal temperature registers 165°F/70°C, or about 10-15 minutes for bone-in thighs, breasts, and drumsticks.

【Frying】Step 2:

Fry in batches of 2-3 pieces to make sure the oil temperature does not drop too much; you want the oil to stay around 325°F/160°C while the chicken fries.

【Frying】Step 3:

Remove from the oil and place it on a resting rack. Lightly dust with salt while still hot, or additional cajun seasoning.

Enjoy!
