Simple, spicy fried chicken on biscuits with spicy maple butter!

More About This Recipe

  • Nobody will turn down these chicken biscuit sandwiches! Sometimes a tiny thing takes an already good recipe to the next level. In this case, you would be completely fine making delicious fried chicken and putting it between a flaky biscuit. That would be good. But the real secret to making these golden brown sandwiches great is the maple butter. It’s just three simple ingredients, but that maple butter melting into the biscuit makes a savory/sweet sandwich that just might change your sandwich game forever. You could sandwich these fried beauties between any biscuit, honestly, but I just baked up a batch of Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Biscuits. They turned out nice and and flaky. Assembly is pretty straightforward. A good smear of the butter stuff and a piece of chicken is all you need to make a sandwich! You could either make them in advance so people could grab and go, or they could assemble their own! If you’re serving these as a meal, you’ll probably want to make sure people can have more than one as they're kind of on the small side. And they're really good!
