Ingredients

1 cup buttermilk

1 tablespoon hot sauce

½ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

4 skinless, boneless chicken cutlets (about 1½ lb. total), pounded to ¼” thickness

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature

¼ cup honey

½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more

Vegetable oil (for frying; about 2½ cups)

2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)

Freshly ground black pepper

4 Pies-N-Thighs Biscuits (click for recipe)

Hot sauce (for serving)

Method

Combine buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, black pepper, and cayenne in a resealable plastic bag; add chicken. Seal bag, turn to coat, and chill at least 3 hours.

DO AHEAD: Chicken can be marinated 8 hours ahead. Keep chilled.

Mix butter, honey, and ½ tsp. salt in a small bowl until smooth; set honey butter aside.

Pour oil into a large skillet, preferably cast iron, to a depth of ½” and heat over medium-high heat until oil bubbles immediately when a little panko is added.

Meanwhile, place panko in a shallow bowl. Remove chicken from marinade; season with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in panko, shaking off excess. Working in 2 batches and maintaining oil temperature, fry chicken until golden brown, crisp, and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a paper towel–lined baking sheet to drain.

Split biscuits and spread each side with 1 Tbsp. reserved honey butter. Build sandwiches with biscuits, chicken, and hot sauce.
