Chicken Biscuit Breakfast Sandwich (and lunch or dinner)

When I first moved to Idaho in 2000, I was super sad to see that they did not have a Chick-fil-a.  Yes, I know that might sound silly, but I really do love a good, solid chicken biscuit sandwich.  It would take another 10+ years before we got a Chick-fil-a.

Of course, it is a 20 minute drive to go visit my favorite chicken restaurant.  I'm not typically willing to spend the money just for some chicken.  Which means, I had to create my own chicken biscuit sandwich.

It has taken several years.  Many failed or frustrating attempts.  And several "burned" fried chickens.  But I think we've finally found a satisfying and delicious alternative to our favorite chicken sandwich.

This recipe includes the use of fresh buttermilk and sourdough discard.  It has a lot of flavor.  And no, this one doesn't have pickle juice in it like a lot of the copycat Chick-fil-a sandwiches do.  But it is still super yummy and of course you add a pickle or two with your biscuit.

This recipe also takes a little bit of time to put together.  You need to marinate the chicken which is what gives it the best flavor.  Make sure not to skip that step.

Lastly, make sure to include all the seasonings in the batter.  They really give it that extra flavor you want.
