Recipe type: Entrée
Cuisine: Comfort Food, Southern, gluten-free
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour OR gluten-free flour (I use Bob's Red Mill)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup shortening
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 7 tablespoons of unsalted butter
  • ½ cup Thyme pulled
  • ½ cup Rosemary chopped
  • ½ cup chive chopped
  • 1 lb chicken thighs
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Mix everything but the chicken into a bowl. I like to use a fork until the flour becomes doughy. Once it’s doughy place a towel over the bowl. Let it sit for 5 mins.
  3. As that is going on, take your chicken and salt or pepper to taste. Place the chicken in a cast-iron-skillet and put into the oven. It needs to bake for about 35 minutes to get crispy.
  4. While chicken is baking, flour a work surface. Take your dough out of the bowl and place it on the flour, roll out the dough a couple of times with a rolling pin. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Once the dough is about one inch thick use a cup or glass to make your biscuit. Be careful not to twist the glass or cup because that prevents rise on your biscuit.
  5. This recipe should make around 6-8 biscuits depending on how wide you cut the the biscuits. Once you have them cut place them on a cooking sheet. I like to spray it with oil before placement to prevent any sticking. Place them in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until slightly brown.
  6. Slice cooked chicken thighs and assemble on warm biscuits.
