Ingredients

biscuits + sandwiches

  • 1 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup finely ground cornmeal
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup your favorite BBQ sauce
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 cup butter lettuce
  • 1 tomato, sliced

chicken

Instructions 

  • At least 2 hours (or the night) before, add the chicken to a baking dish and cover it with the buttermilk. Let it sit for 2 to 24 hours. About an hour before making the chicken, prepare and make the biscuits.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Using your fingers, a fork or a pastry blender, add the butter and mix until corse crumbs remain. Stir in the buttermilk and mix until a dough forms, using your hands to bring it together.
  • Place the dough on a floured workspace and roll/pat it until it is 1-inch thick. Use a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter to cut rounds our of the dough. Place them on a nonstick baking sheet at least 1 inch apart. Bake for 10 minutes, or until biscuits are slightly golden and set. This recipe makes 8 to 10 biscuits.
  • Keep the oven at 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray the rack liberally with nonstick spray. Whisk together the panko, fine crumbs, flour, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper together in a large bowl.
  • Remove each piece of chicken from the buttermilk (it should have a very thick coating of buttermilk on it that allows the crumbs to adhere) and dredge it through the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently so the crumbs adhere and the entire piece of chicken is covered. Place the chicken on the wire rack. Spray each piece of chicken with a spritz of canola (or nonstick spray/high heat) oil so the crumbs are moistened. This will help them crisp up.
  • Bake the chicken for 15 minutes. Remove it from the oven and gently flip the pieces, spraying them again with the oil/spray so the other side crisps up. Bake the chicken for 15 more minutes them remove it from the oven. Assemble the sliders by spreading some of your favorite BBQ sauce on the biscuits. Add the chicken, drizzle honey on top, then add some lettuce and tomato. Eat up!
