Ingredients

• 8 pieces chicken pieces (drumsticks, thighs, wings, breasts)
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
• 2 cups self-rising flour
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (very cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons honey (for serving, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Step 1: Marinate the chicken by placing the pieces in a large bowl. Pour the buttermilk over them, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.

Step 2

Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the seasoning flour.

Step 3

Step 3: Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 4

Step 4: Remove each piece of chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge the chicken pieces in the seasoning flour, pressing to adhere. Place on a plate to rest for a few minutes before frying.

Step 5

Step 5: Fry the chicken in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.

Step 6

Step 6: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare the biscuits.

Step 7

Step 7: In a bowl, combine the self-rising flour and cold, cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 8

Step 8: Slowly pour in the milk while gently stirring with a fork. Mix until just combined and a dough forms. Do not overwork the dough.

Step 9

Step 9: Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, re-patting the scraps as needed.

Step 10

Step 10: Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 11

Step 11: Serve the fried chicken hot alongside the biscuits. Optionally drizzle biscuits with honey for a touch of sweetness.
