Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of low-fat buttermilk and 2 tablespoons of kosher salt until well combined. Submerge 1.5 pounds of chicken thighs in the brine, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  2. Combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and 1 teaspoon of paprika in a large mixing bowl. Mix well.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet until it reaches 350°F. Dredge each chicken thigh in the flour mixture.
  4. Fry the chicken thighs for about 8 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  5. Beat together 0.5 cups of unsalted butter, 0.25 cups of honey, and 2 tablespoons of hot sauce until smooth and creamy.
  6. Assemble by placing fried chicken on halved biscuits and drizzling with hot honey butter.
