Chicken and biscuits is a southern kitchen staple. It’s very inexpensive but it fills you up with a bunch of comfort and goodness and *sticks to the ribs*. If Bleu cheese and buffalo sauce is the kind of thing you like…I hope it is because I love it, then you’ll love this recipe.

This recipe came out of sheer luck! I had some leftover Blue Cheese in the fridge,  and some Buffalo sauce from chicken I’d made the previous week. I wanted to make chicken and biscuits but instead of the traditional dish I decided to use the buffalo sauce and leftover Bleu Cheese.

Buffalo Chicken and Blue Cheese Biscuits it is.

What you need….

Bleu Cheese Biscuits

1 ½ Cups All Purpose Flour *plus extra for dusting*

T Tablespoon Baking Powder

½ Teaspoon Baking Soda

1 Teaspoon Salt

2 Tablespoons Butter

4 Tablespoons Shortening

¾ Cups Bleu Cheese*extra Blue cheese for toping*

¾ Cups Milk

Buffalo Sauce

2 Tablespoons Butter

2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar

1/3 Cup Buffalo sauce *I use Franks*

Chicken

1.5 Pounds Chicken tenderloins

Salt/ Pepper

             Lemon Zest *optional*

Mix all your dry ingredients together. I use my fingers to incorporate the butter and shortening into the flour mix. Incorporate it until it is in a crumbled state. Now add your Bleu cheese and milk, keep using hands to mix but do not over mix *it will make the biscuit tough* Be gentle with your mix and incorporate. If mix is too wet dust some more flour on to get the biscuit to a point where you can begin to roll your dough out. When rolling dough still be careful not to over work the dough. Gently roll it out.  Dip your biscuit cutter or a cup into flour and cut your biscuits out. Bake on 400ᴼ for 10 minutes just until tops begin to brown. Watch closely.

In a medium sauce pan mix butter, buffalo sauce, and brown sugar. Bring to so boil and turn down to low heat.

Heat veggie oil. Take your chicken tenderloins out of the brine and dry off with paper towel or soft cloth. Season with a little salt and pepper. Place chicken in hot pan, and cook for about 5 minutes on each side. When done drop them in the buffalo sauce cover with top and turn to low let simmer for about 10 more minutes.

When biscuits are done fix them how you want don’t forget to add a little sauce to biscuits top off with some Bleu cheese and parsley. I grate a little Lemon on the top to give it an extra umf! I like mines in a little chicken biscuit form but it is also great with biscuits drizzled in buffalo sauce and topped with chicken and some crumbled Bleu cheese. Fix it how you want. Enjoy! I would love to hear how it turned out for you….the good, bad and ugly!
