How to Make Honey Butter Chicken Biscuits?
This step-by-step recipe will guide you through making flaky biscuits, creamy honey butter, and assembling the ultimate sandwich. It’s simple and satisfying!
Make the Biscuits
First, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). While it heats up, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
Next, take your cold butter and cut it into the dry ingredients. You can use a grater for ease. The mixture should look like coarse sand. Slowly pour in your buttermilk while stirring until the dough starts to come together. Do not overmix.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Gently fold it several times to create layers, then roll it out. Use a biscuit cutter to create 6-7 rounds and place them in a buttered skillet or on a lined baking tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Once baked, brush your biscuits with honey butter while still warm.
Make the Honey Butter
Combine softened salted butter with honey in a bowl. Whisk until fully blended and creamy. You can refrigerate it for a thicker texture or use it immediately.
Cook the Chicken
While the biscuits are baking, prepare your chicken in the air fryer. Cook one piece per sandwich at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping midway, until crispy and golden.
Assemble the Sandwich
Slice the biscuit in half, spread a generous layer of the honey butter on both sides, place the fried chicken breast in the middle, and drizzle with hot honey if desired. Pop on the top biscuit and serve while warm. Just like these spicy beef empanadas, it’s a dish that’s bursting with flavor in every bite.

Make Ahead and Storage
Once you’ve tried these, you’ll want to make them again and again! The biscuits can be prepped ahead of time. Simply cut the unbaked dough, freeze it, and bake directly from the freezer when needed.
Leftover sandwiches? Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven for the best texture. Honey butter can last in the fridge for up to a week!
Tips for Making the Recipe
I’ve made this recipe so often, I’ve learned a few things along the way to make it even better.
- Always use super cold butter for flaky biscuits; the cold creates those delicious layers.
- Don’t overknead the dough; it should be just combined for the fluffiest results.
- If using frozen chicken, make sure to completely thaw it before air frying for even cooking.
- Double the honey butter and store it for later. It’s so good, you’ll want it on toast or waffles too!
- Experiment with biscuits! Add cheddar, rosemary, or garlic to switch up the flavors.
This honey butter chicken biscuit recipe is a delightful mix of flavors and textures, bound to become a family favorite. Enjoy!
