You can prepare the chicken and biscuits ahead of time and store them separately. Assemble just before serving so the biscuits stay soft and the chicken stays crispy.
Wrap assembled sandwiches individually and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
Customize with sweet, savory, or spicy toppings depending on your taste. Popular additions include cheese, crispy bacon, pickles, fried eggs, lettuce, tomato, and hot honey. You can also keep it simple with butter or add sauces like ranch, mayo, or spicy mustard for extra flavor.
The best condiments for a chicken biscuit depend on the flavor you’re going for. Honey, hot honey, mayonnaise, spicy mayo, ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, mustard, and honey mustard all pair well with crispy chicken and buttery biscuits. For a Southern-style flavor, try adding a little maple syrup or a drizzle of honey butter.
