Instructions
Marinate the chicken
Place chicken thighs in a bowl and pour buttermilk over them ensuring every piece is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. The buttermilk tenderizes the chicken and helps the breading adhere perfectly.
Make the hot honey
Combine honey and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over low heat. Warm gently for 5 minutes stirring occasionally until the honey is infused with heat. Do not let it boil. Set aside to cool slightly.
Bread the chicken
Mix flour with cayenne pepper garlic powder smoked paprika and 1 teaspoon salt in a shallow dish. Remove each chicken thigh from the buttermilk letting excess drip off then dredge thoroughly in the seasoned flour pressing firmly so the coating adheres on all sides.
Fry the chicken
Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet to 350 degrees F. Fry the breaded chicken thighs in batches for 5 to 6 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F and the crust is deep golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to drain and rest.
Assemble the sliders
Split each biscuit in half. Place a fried chicken thigh on the bottom half of each biscuit. Drizzle a generous amount of warm hot honey directly over the chicken. Add the biscuit top and serve immediately while the chicken is still crispy.
