Method
 

Fry Chicken
  1. Heat oil in a large, deep pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 365-375°F.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together egg and water.
  4. Dredge chicken tenders in the flour mixture, dip in the egg mixture, then coat in flour.
  5. Fry in batches for 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Make Biscuits
  1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
  2. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in buttermilk until just combined.
  5. Turn dough onto a floured surface, shape and fold, then cut into 10-12 rounds.
  6. Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 15-17 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Brush baked biscuits with melted butter for an extra touch.
Prepare Hot Honey
  1. In a small saucepan, combine honey and crushed red pepper flakes over medium heat.
  2. Stir occasionally and simmer gently for about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in apple cider vinegar after removing from heat.
  4. Let hot honey cool slightly while finishing with biscuits and chicken.
Assemble
