Prepare the Chicken: Marinate Chicken in buttermilk, hot sauce, smoked paprika, and garlic powder for at least 30 minutes. Dredge in flour. Fry in vegetable oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside.
Make the Gravy: Melt Butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in Milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened. Stir in Pepper Jack cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
Make the Biscuits: Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk until just combined. Drop by spoonfuls onto a baking sheet.
Bake Biscuits for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Assemble: Split each biscuit in half. Fill with fried chicken and top with gravy. Drizzle with honey.
