Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat until it reaches 365-375°F.
  2. Mix 2.5 cups of flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika in a bowl.
  3. Dredge chicken tenders in flour mixture, dip in beaten egg with water, and coat again with flour before frying.
  4. Carefully place chicken in the hot oil in batches. Fry for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Transfer fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  6. Preheat oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  8. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then add buttermilk.
  9. Gently pat dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick and fold over a few times, then cut out rounds.
  10. Place biscuits on the baking sheet, brush with melted butter, and bake for 15-17 minutes.
  11. In a small saucepan, combine honey and crushed red pepper flakes over low heat for 5 minutes.
  12. Stir in apple cider vinegar, cool slightly, and drizzle over biscuits with fried chicken.
  13. Split warm biscuits, add chicken, drizzle with hot honey, and serve while warm.
