- Hi, my name is Talia, and this is my kitchen.
And today I'm gonna show you
how to make one of my favorite,
sweet heat fried chicken biscuits.
It's basically everything you could want.
It's a buttermilk biscuit with pimento cheese,
and candied bacon, and spicy fried chicken
using House Autry Spicy Chicken Fry Mix.
And I'm really excited
because I'm gonna use a deep fryer
for the first time.
I'm sure it'll be fun.
(upbeat music)
This show is brought to you by House Autry Mills.
America's number one chicken fry.
So the foundation of our sweet heat fried chicken biscuit
is obviously a biscuit.
I'm using frozen ones.
And before you get really upset, here's why.
I'm a mom, I have two kids, I have a job.
Also I'm lazy and tired,
and who has time to make homemade buttermilk biscuit dough?
Let's be real, that takes a long time.
So we're just gonna throw these in the oven.
So the next thing that we're gonna do
is prep our candied bacon.
There's probably a lot of better ways
or more informed ways to make candied bacon.
But what I like to do,
because it's easy,
is lay all of my bacon out on wax paper.
And then I coat it with brown sugar and smoosh it in.
And then I move the bacon to a foil covered pan.
Usually, I use light brown sugar when I do this.
But today we're using dark brown sugar
because that's what was in my pantry.
To be honest, I'm never measure
how much sugar I put on the bacon.
I just try to make a thin even coat across all of it.
And then I smoosh it down with my fingers.
And then your hands smell like brown sugar and bacon
for the rest of the day, which is kinda nice.
Also, important, only do it on one side.
Only put sugar on one side
because it is a big sticky mess.
And if you put it on both sides,
it's gonna stick to the foil.
You're never gonna get it up.
Your bacon is ruined.
You'll cry.
It'll ruin your entire day.
So now that we have sufficiently rubbed brown sugar
all over our bacon,
we're gonna pick it up, shake off the excess,
just like a tiny bit,
and then move it to our pan
that's actually going into the oven.
So we are doing eight pieces of bacon
because one piece of bacon is enough per biscuit.
And I know you might not think that's true,
but here's why,
the biscuits are kinda small,
and you're putting a bunch of stuff on 'em,
and we're gonna cut the bacon up into thirds.
So it's like three tiny piece of bacon.
It'll be fine.
Oven time!
This is the only part of the recipe
that really has more than like two steps.
But if you are at all skilled in the kitchen,
like your average human,
this is probably still very easy for you.
So I went ahead and I pre-cut our chicken tenders in half.
So they're like large nuggets,
or tiny tenders.
Ten-gets.
You want at least two tender nuggets per biscuit.
We're going to bread them,
dip them in egg,
bread them again so that they're extra spicy,
and then throw 'em in the fryer.
Don't throw things in the fryer.
We're going to gently place them into the deep fryer.
So we are using the House Autry Mill's
Spicy Chicken Mix.
The biscuit just doesn't taste as good
if it's normal fried chicken.
You kind of need that kick,
and this, you could definitely smell the kick right away.
Don't breathe in the bag.
This is a good time,
while you're breading the chicken to meditate.
Think on your day, count your blessings.
Decide what you're gonna have for dinner later.
Is it more leftover biscuits?
I don't know.
Did you remember to turn your hair straightener off?
Yes, yes, I did.
You don't want any of them to be naked.
No one wants to eat naked chicken.
You're probably supposed to do this one at a time,
but like I said,
I am impatient when it comes to cooking,
and now I just wanna get it done so that we can eat.
And since these are so small,
I mean, they were already small.
They were tenders, and then we cut them in half.
I mean, depends on the size
of the chicken that you're frying,
but four minutes is gonna be enough for these guys.
Alright, time to wash up.
Our deep fryer is preheated 350 degrees.
Our chicken tendees are ready to go.
Not nervous.
Nothing's gonna catch on fire.
(shrieks)
(sighs) Can you hear that sound?
It smells good, it sounds good, it looks good.
Alright, put our lid back on
and set our timer.
Boop!
And then we wait some more.
(grease bubbling) (bell dinging)
(gasps) It's done!
Ooh, aah, it's beautiful!
It's got a handy dandy little thing to hang it.
Chicken!
Take out our super crispy,
beautiful, large nuggets, small tenders,
and put them on a couple of paper towels
that I've have got here
to help soak up some of that excess oil.
So this is the second to best part.
We are finally going to take all of the wonderful,
delicious, and easy things that we made
and put them together into one perfect,
sweet spicy well-rounded biscuit slider.
Is that a thing?
It's a thing, biscuit slider.
It's now a thing.
So we have our delicious,
quite obviously crumbly buttermilk biscuit.
The pimento cheese does the magical glue
that holds our sweet heat biscuit together.
Gently peel up your candied bacon.
We're going to cut it into thirds,
we're gonna smoosh our little mini bacon pieces,
and then let's pick the best looking pieces of chicken.
And then, you put the roof on the house,
and you smoosh it.
Ta-da!
Look how beautiful!
Look what you made!
(inhales loudly) Smell it, love it,
breathe it in.
Ah, it's gonna be so good.
I hope you're proud of yourself.
I'm proud of myself.
I gonna eat this whole thing in like two bites.
Ooh, it was really good.
