Why You Will Love This Recipe
My grandma used to make the best biscuits from scratch. They weren’t fancy, just simple, fluffy, and comforting. When I was traveling through Nashville, I discovered the magic of hot honey and immediately knew I had to find a way to combine my grandma’s biscuit love with the delicious heat of hot honey. These Hot Honey Chicken Biscuits are my way of honoring both those experiences, creating something both familiar and new, comforting and exciting.
