Ingredients:
- 4 large buttermilk biscuits, refrigerated or frozen
- 2 tbsp salted butter, melted
- 4 honey-breaded chicken tenders (approx. 150g each)
- 120ml real mayonnaise
- 60ml tomato ketchup
- 5ml garlic powder
- 5ml Worcestershire sauce
- 10g coarse black pepper
- 2g Himalayan pink salt
- 4 slices sharp white cheddar cheese
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Note: A hot oven is the only way to get that immediate rise in the dough.
- Place the 4 buttermilk biscuits on the tray, leaving at least 2 inches of space between them.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with the 2 tbsp of melted salted butter. Bake until the tops are golden and the edges look dry.
- While the biscuits bake, place the 4 honey breaded chicken tenders on a separate tray (or the same tray if there's room).
- Cook the chicken for 15 minutes until the breading begins to sizzle and the internal temp hits 165°F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the 120ml mayonnaise, 60ml ketchup, 5ml garlic powder, 5ml Worcestershire sauce, 10g coarse black pepper, and 2g Himalayan salt.
- Let the sauce sit for at least 5 minutes. Note: This allows the dried garlic and pepper to hydrate and release their oils into the fat.
- Slice the warm biscuits in half horizontally using a serrated knife to avoid crushing the layers.
- Place one slice of sharp white cheddar on the bottom half of each biscuit. Watch for the edges to start softening from the residual heat.
- Top with a hot chicken tender, a generous spoonful of the sauce, and the top half of the biscuit.
