Buffalo Chicken Biscuits - chicken

Method

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• For filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine chicken, hot sauce and butter.
• Set aside.
• For the biscuits: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
• Cut in shortening until the mixture resembles peas.
• Add milk and blue cheese and stir until the mixture comes together into a ball.
• Knead for a few minutes and then use your hands and pat the dough down to a 1/2 thickness.
• Using a 2 or larger cutter (I use a small jelly jar), cut the dough into circles and arrange half of the circles on a baking sheet.
• Scoop 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture into the center of the dough circle.
• Place a small chunk of blue cheese on top of the chicken mixture.
• Moisten the edge of the dough with a little bit of water and top with another circle of dough.
• Pinch edges to seal.
• Bake at 400 degrees F for 12-15 minutes.
• Once baked, you can store these in the fridge for a few days and reheat them in the oven when needed.
• They also freeze well.
