Equipment

  • Food processor
  • cast iron skillet
  • deep frying thermometer

Ingredients
  

For the Fried Chicken Sandwich:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 3 cups flour
  • 2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 2 tsp. onion powder
  • 2 tsp. paprika
  • ½ tsp. kosher salt
  • ½ tsp. black pepper
  • 1 cup vegetable oil

For the Honey Blackberry Butter:

  • ½ cup softened butter
  • ⅔ cup blackberries, pureed and strained
  • 2 tbsp. honey

For the Biscuits:

  • 3 cups flour (360g flour)
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tbsp. baking powder
  • 10 tbsp. cold unsalted butter, cut in half inch pieces
  • 1 cup buttermilk plus 2 tablespoons

Instructions
 

For the Fried Chicken Sandwiches:

  • Cut each breast horizontally into 4 even pieces. Take one piece at a time, and pound them in a plastic bag, until they are a ¼ inch thick. Season them with salt and pepper.
  • Prepare 3 bowls for dipping the chicken. Divide the flour and spices between 2 bowls and place the buttermilk in a third bowl.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet with one inch of oil to 350°. Dip each piece of chicken in the flour, then buttermilk, and then into the second bowl of flour. Fry each piece until golden brown on both sides. Drain the chicken on a wire rack.
  • Serve the chicken on the biscuits with the Honey Blackberry Butter.

For the Honey Blackberry Butter:

  • Mix all the ingredients together and serve.

For the Biscuits:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°.
  • In a food processor, mix together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
  • Cut the butter in ½ inch cubes and sprinkle on the flour. Pulse the mixture until the butter is the size of peas. Remove the mixture to a bowl and with a fork stir in the buttermilk, slowly. You may not need all of it, just use enough so that the dough is barely together.
  • On a floured board, pat the dough out until it's about an inch thick. Using a three inch biscuit cutter, cut out your biscuits. Keep patting out the dough to make additional biscuits, about 9 in all.
  • Place the biscuits on a parchment lined baking sheet and brush with buttermilk. Bake them 15 minutes or until light brown.
