Preparation

  5. Cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Cooking the Chicken

  2. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Dredge the marinated chicken in seasoned flour and fry until golden brown and cooked through.

  2. Assemble the biscuits by adding a piece of fried chicken and drizzling it generously with hot honey before enjoying.
