- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1 12 teaspoons baking powder

- 1 cup chopped leftover fried chicken

- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup whole milk
- 14 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Method
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- In a large bowl, sift 2 cups flour with the baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Using your fingertips, blend in the chilled pieces of butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal, then mix in the chicken.
- Stir in the buttermilk just until incorporated.
- On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until just blended, then pat into an 8 inch round.
- Using a 3 inch cookie cutter, cut out 6 biscuits; combine the scraps and cut out 2 more biscuits.
- On a baking sheet, arrange the biscuits 2 inches apart and brush lightly with buttermilk.
- Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, fry the bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 4 minutes.
- Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter until melted, then whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons flour until incorporated.
- Whisk in the chicken broth, milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the cayenne and simmer over medium high heat until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Serve the gravy alongside the chicken biscuits.
