Ingredients

Chipotle Honey Butter

Chicken Biscuits

  • 18 biscuits baked and split (homemade or from the frozen section)
  • 24 ounces breaded boneless chicken tenders from frozen section, baked according to package directions or use the Restless Chiptole recipe
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (optional, for garnish and added freshness)

Instructions

  • Now that we have our ingredients in place, let’s work through the steps to create this delightful dish. Each step is straightforward, making the process enjoyable and approachable.

Step 1: Prepare the Honey Butter

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and honey. Stir until they blend smoothly. This should take only a minute or two. Add in the chipotle pepper, vanilla extract, and smoked paprika. Mix thoroughly, and taste to ensure it’s up to your liking. One last tip: If you prefer a sweeter blend, feel free to add a bit more honey.

Step 2: Bake the Biscuits

  • Preheat your oven according to the biscuit instructions. If you’re using frozen biscuits, arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake until they’re golden brown, which usually takes around 12-15 minutes. The smell that wafts through your kitchen during this step is absolutely phenomenal.

Step 3: Prepare Chicken Tenders

  • While the biscuits are baking, take your frozen chicken tenders and prepare them according to the packaging instructions. Bake them in the oven. They’ll pair beautifully with the biscuits.

Step 4: Assemble Your Biscuits

  • Once your biscuits are baked and the chicken tenders are ready, it’s time to assemble! Split each biscuit in half, and place a chicken tender inside. Generously spread the honey butter over the top. You can even add extra chicken if you’re feeling adventurous.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

  • If you’d like, garnish your biscuit sandwich with chopped parsley for a fresh kick. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Here are some valuable tips to help you master this dish:
  • Butter Temperature: Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.
  • Honey Selection: Use high-quality honey for a superior flavor.
  • Customize the Spice: Adjust chipotle levels based on your heat preference.
  • Extra Crispy: For extra crunch, you can butter the outsides of the biscuits before baking.
  • Make It Ahead: The honey butter can be made in advance. Just store it in the fridge and take it out a bit before serving.
