Dirty South Biscuit Recipes

Steps:

• For the disco chicken marinade: Put on your best disco clothes and shoes. Lay chicken breasts flat on a cutting board. Carefully slice each breast in half, horizontally. Take cut chicken and place flat in a resealable plastic bag, then close bag. Now it's time for Poundtown. Put bag back on cutting board and use a meat hammer, large pot or rolling pin and pound out chicken without breaking bag to 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick. Remove chicken from bag and place in a large deep container. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.
• Add buttermilk, salt, pepper and jalapenos to a food processor or blender. Process until jalapenos are pulverized, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour buttermilk mixture from processor into the container on top of chicken and return to refrigerator. Let chicken marinate in mixture for at least 8 hours.
• For the disco flour: Mix flour, salt, pepper, paprika, cumin and garlic powder in a bowl until combined. Take a break and put on some disco music. Set disco flour aside until ready to dredge disco chicken.
• For the spicy honey butter: Add butter, honey and cayenne pepper to a large pot. Bring mixture to a simmer and whisk vigorously. Cook until all butter is melted, then remove pot from stovetop and let mixture cool completely. Pour cooled spicy honey butter into a squirt bottle. Again, take a break and ponder if disco was the best music of the 70's. Maybe so, maybe not. Do not refrigerate spicy honey butter; store at room temp!
• For the Cheddar biscuits: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine flour, butter, cheese, baking powder, granulated sugar, salt and brown sugar in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Turn on mixer and mix until slightly grainy, not doughy, then turn off mixer. Add buttermilk, milk and cream and mix until doughy and well-mixed, then turn off mixer and remove dough from mixer bowl.
• Grease a muffin tin and form 5-ounce dough balls with your hands. Add dough balls to muffin tin and press down in muffin slots. Bake until tops are golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Now dim the lights and turn on the disco ball.
• For the assembly: If pan-frying, add oil to a pan and heat up to 350 degrees F. If using a deep-fryer, add oil and set fryer temperature to 350 degrees F.
• Remove chicken breasts one at a time from disco marinade and dredge in disco flour, pressing down on chicken to ensure a good coating on both sides. Remove chicken from disco flour and place into hot oil. Fry until chicken is golden brown and a meat thermometer inserted in the center registers an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, 5 to 7 minutes. Grab a regular thermometer and place it under your tongue-it should read above 98.6 because you're on fire!
• Grab a plate and make a design on it with the spicy honey butter. Cut a biscuit in half and put on plate. Add a little more spicy honey butter on biscuit halves. Place disco chicken on top of biscuits and cover chicken in spicy honey butter. Grab finely chopped green onions and sprinkle on top of disco chicken. Give yourself a high five! If you're not dancing, then start! With a knife (optional) and fork, cut into disco biscuit and savor the flavor(town). You have just made and now eaten a Guyutes Disco Biscuit. You are special, and don't let anyone tell you differently. (Make 7 more sandwiches in same manner.)

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, add the chipotle peppers, 3 garlic cloves, chicken stock, oregano, cumin, salt, and Mexican chocolate. Blend well.
• In a frying pan add butter, remaining chopped garlic, and chopped onions, saute for 5 minutes. Add chicken breasts. Cook until almost done. Add sauce to pan. Reduce the heat and cook until sauce is thick.

Steps:

• For the sausage gravy:
• In a large heavy bottom pot melt the tablespoon of butter and brown the sausage for about 5 minutes. Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Once at a simmer, add the hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce and maple syrup. Simmer the gravy for 15 minutes and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• For the biscuits:
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a bowl sift together the dry ingredients. Add the butter and incorporate the flour into it until the texture is consistent. Pour the milk into the flour mixture and mix with a fork until the dough begins to come together.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out until it's about 1-inch thick. Cut the dough vertically and then horizontally, yielding approximately 15 square biscuits. Lay the biscuits out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Glaze the top of each biscuit with a little bit of cream and place the sheet in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits turn golden in color.
• Assemble by placing a biscuit on a plate and covering it with about 1/2 a cup of the sausage gravy.
