Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pound the chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper, so they have an even thickness. Cut each in half.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, milk, egg and hot sauce. Add the chicken and soak. Refrigerate while you make the biscuits.
  • In another bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch and chicken rub.
  • Remove the chicken from the milk bath. Shake off any excess liquid. Dredge in the flour. Shake off excess. Return to the milk bath. And then dredge one more time in the flour mixture.
  • Place on a wire rack over a sheet pan and repeat with the rest of the chicken.
  • Add about 1 1/2 inches of oil to a large skillet. Heat to 350F degrees.
  • Add 2-3 pieces of chicken and fry for about 10 minutes, flipping once, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165F degrees.
  • Repeat with the rest of the chicken. Start baking the biscuits while the last batch of chicken is frying.
  • Place the chicken on a clean wire rack over a sheet pan.
  • Ladle out 1 cup of the hot oil into a bowl. Be careful it will be hot. Stir in the honey and Nashville Hot Rub.
  • Dunk the chicken into the hot honey. Return to the wire rack.
  • Serve on hot biscuits with bread and butter pickles. Pour on more hot honey, if you like it extra sticky.
