Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken (preferably rotisserie or leftover chicken)
- 1 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce (choose your preferred spice level)
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for more spice)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 large fluffy biscuits (homemade or store-bought)
- Fresh herbs (cilantro or parsley) for garnish
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Combine honey and hot sauce in a small saucepan, add smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Warm over low heat, stirring until well blended and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shredded chicken, season with salt, and cook until heated through and slightly crispy. Pour half of the hot honey sauce over the chicken and toss to coat evenly.
- Slice the biscuits in half. Spoon the honey-glazed chicken onto the bottom half, drizzle with extra hot honey sauce if desired, and garnish with fresh herbs. Top with the upper biscuit half and serve immediately.
Notes
- Feel free to customize the spice level by adding more hot sauce or cayenne pepper.
- Use fresh biscuits for the best texture, but store-bought work well too.
- This dish can be assembled ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in oven or microwave before serving.
