Storage & Reheating

Store chicken and biscuits separately in the fridge up to 2 days. Reheat chicken in a skillet for crispiness, biscuits in the oven.

Why This Recipe Works

Crisping the chicken separately keeps it crunchy, while baking the biscuits ensures a soft base. Hot honey ties everything together, adding flavor without overpowering the chicken or biscuit.
