Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 skinless, boneless chicken cutlets, about 1 1/2 pound total, pounded to 1/4" thickness
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature, 1 stick
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
Vegetable oil, for frying; about 2 1/2 cups
2 cups panko Japanese breadcrumbs
Freshly ground black pepper
4 biscuits
Hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

Combine buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, black pepper, and cayenne in a resealable plastic bag; add chicken. Seal bag, turn to coat, and chill at least 3 hours. Do ahead: Chicken can be marinated 8 hours ahead. Keep chilled. Mix butter, honey, and ½ tsp. salt in a small bowl until smooth; set honey butter aside. Pour oil into a large skillet, preferably cast iron, to a depth of ½" and heat over medium-high heat until oil bubbles immediately when a little panko is added. Meanwhile, place panko in a shallow bowl. Remove chicken from marinade; season with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in panko, shaking off excess. Working in 2 batches and maintaining oil temperature, fry chicken until golden brown, crisp, and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Split biscuits and spread each side with 1 Tbsp. reserved honey butter. Build sandwiches with biscuits, chicken, and hot sauce.
