Ingredients for Chicken Biscuits

• 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2" cubes

• 30g vegetable shortening or lard

• 500g plain flour plus more

• 2 colheres de sopa de açúcar

• 2 colheres de sopa de fermento em pó

• 2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda

• 2 colheres de chá de sal kosher

• 1 colher de chá de pimenta-do-reino moída na hora

• 425ml de leitelho

• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk

• 1 colher de sopa de endro fresco picado

• 3 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

• 1 3/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, divided

• Large pinch of cayenne pepper

• 10 small boneless, skin-on chicken thighs

• Óleo vegetal (para fritar)

• 240ml de farinha de trigo

• 6 tablespoons peanut oil

• 1 ovo grande

• 1 colher de sopa de fermento em pó

• 1 1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper

• 1/2 colher de chá de alho em pó

• 1/2 colher de chá de pó de cebola

• 10 slices cheddar (optional)

• Sausage Gravy (optional)

• A 3" biscuit cutter

Preheat oven to 204°C. Place butter and shortening in freezer for 10 minutes.

Blend 500g flour and next 5 ingredients in a food processor. Add butter and shortening. Pulse mixture until it resembles coarse meal, 20-25 pulses. Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Gradually add buttermilk while tossing mixture with a fork (mixture will not be completely incorporated). Knead in bowl with lightly floured hands just until dough forms, about 3 turns.

Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Pat out dough until 1" thick. Lift 1 side and fold it over. Gently repeat 5 more times. Roll dough to 3/4"-thick round. Using a 3" biscuit cutter, cut biscuits from dough. Gather scraps and repeat patting out and cutting biscuits for a total of 10 biscuits.

Place biscuits on a parchment paper- lined baking sheet, spaced 1"-2" apart. Bake until golden brown and a tester inserted horizontally comes out clean, 12-15 minutes. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack; let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature. DO AHEAD: Can be made 8 hours ahead. Let cool completely. Store airtight at room temperature. Rewarm before serving.

Whisk buttermilk, dill, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and cayenne in a large bowl. Add chicken; turn to coat. Cover; chill at least 3 hours or overnight.

Pour vegetable oil in a large pot to a depth of 2". Attach a deep-fry thermometer to side of pot. Heat oil over medium heat to 177°C.

Whisk 300ml water with remaining 2 teaspoons salt, remaining 3/4 teaspoons pepper, flour, and next 6 ingredients in a large bowl. Drain chicken well; pat dry with paper towels. Working in batches, dip chicken into batter. Fry chicken, turning occasionally, until skin is crispy and golden brown and chicken is just cooked through, 9-12 minutes per batch. Drain chicken on paper towels.

Split biscuits in half; place 1 bottom half on each plate. Top each with a cheese slice, if desired, then a chicken thigh. Spoon Sausage Gravy over chicken, if desired. Place biscuit top over.
