1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for marinade)
1 tsp salt

1 tsp salt (for breading)
1/2 tsp black pepper (for breading)
4–6 cups vegetable oil, for frying
For the Biscuits:
2 cups self-rising flour
1/2 tsp salt
8 tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter, very cold and grated or cubed
3/4 cup cold buttermilk
2 tbsp melted butter, for brushing (optional)
For the Hot Honey Sauce:

1–2 tsp cayenne pepper (to taste)
1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional, for extra heat)
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

1. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, whisk buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Add chicken, coat well, and refrigerate for 30 mins to 4 hours.
2. Prepare Biscuits: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Combine self-rising flour and salt. Cut or grate cold butter into flour until crumbly. Add cold buttermilk, mix gently until just combined. Pat dough to 1-inch thick, fold, and repeat 2-3 times. Cut biscuits with a 2-inch cutter and place on a baking sheet.
3. Fry Chicken: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) in a heavy skillet. In a shallow dish, whisk all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour mixture, pressing to coat. Fry chicken in batches for 6-8 minutes per side until golden and internal temp reaches 165°F (74°C). Drain on a wire rack.
4. Bake Biscuits: Bake biscuits for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Brush with melted butter if desired.
5. Make Hot Honey: In a small saucepan, combine honey, cayenne, chili flakes, and apple cider vinegar. Heat over medium-low, stirring, until warm.
6. Assemble: Split warm biscuits, add fried chicken, drizzle generously with hot honey, and serve immediately.
