Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

In a bowl, combine Chicken ingredients (buttermilk, hot sauce, garlic powder, paprika, pepper). Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together Chicken ingredients (flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, sugar).
Remove chicken from marinade and dredge in flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
Fry chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
While chicken fries, prepare Biscuits: Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
In a bowl, whisk together Biscuit ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt).
Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add buttermilk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat down to 1-inch thickness. Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter.
Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve fried chicken with biscuits.
