Steps:
- Place chicken in large (9-quart) stock pot, pour in water, and drop in bay leaf and single clove. Bring to simmer over medium-low heat. As foam rises to the top of the broth, skim and discard with a ladle. Add peeled garlic cloves, cover pot, and simmer on low for 1 hour.
- Remove chicken from pot, and allow to cool for a few minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove all meat from the bones, and set the chicken meat aside. Pour stock into a bowl and set aside.
- In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, melt butter, and cook and stir carrots, celery, onion, and mushrooms until the vegetables start to become tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt, white pepper, cayenne pepper, black pepper and paprika. Mix in flour, stirring to coat vegetables with flour, about 5 minutes. Add half of reserved stock, and stir with the vegetables and flour to form a very thick sauce. Stir in remaining stock until sauce is smooth; reduce heat to a simmer, and cook uncovered for 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Stir milk into the sauce, and gently mix in the reserved chicken meat, herbes de Provence, tarragon, and rosemary. Bring stew back to a simmer, and cook for 10 more minutes. Pop open the can of biscuits, separate, and place biscuits on top of stew.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the biscuits are golden brown and the stew is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Place lid on the pot or Dutch oven, and return to oven; bake until biscuits are cooked through, about 15 more minutes. Test biscuits for doneness by pulling apart a biscuit near the middle of the stew to see if it's cooked through.

CHICKEN BISCUITS
Steps:
- For the biscuits: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Mix flours, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a bowl. Add cubed butter and toss. Pulse mixture in food processor until butter is pea-sized. Put this in a large bowl and add buttermilk. Mix with hands until dough comes together but still has shaggy bits, then dump onto a floured table.
- Work with the heel of your hand pushing the dough into the table away from you and roll it back onto itself. Continue heeling and rolling until dough is smooth, but do not overmix. (Pieces of butter should still be visible.)
- Use a rolling pin to roll the dough until it's about 1 1/2 inches thick.
- Flour a round biscuit cutter and cut the biscuits. Flip the biscuits and place on a sheet pan.
- Beat together the egg and heavy cream in a small bowl. Brush biscuits with egg wash.
- Bake 22 minutes.
- For the fried chicken cutlets: Combine buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, cayenne and black pepper in a resealable plastic bag; add chicken. Seal bag, turn to coat, and chill 1 to 3 hours.
- Pour oil into a large skillet to a depth of 1/2-inch and heat over medium-high heat until oil bubbles immediately when a sprinkle of breadcrumbs is added. (Oil should be at 325 degrees F.)
- Meanwhile, place breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl. Remove chicken from marinade. Dredge chicken in breadcrumbs, shaking off excess. Working in 2 batches and maintaining oil temperature, fry chicken until golden brown, crisp, and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
- For the honey butter and sandwich assembly: Whisk together the butter and honey in a bowl.
- Split a biscuit and slather both halves with honey butter. Place a fried cutlet on bottom half and pour a generous amount of hot sauce over. Top with other biscuit half. Repeat with the remaining chicken cutlets. Save remaining biscuits for another use.
Tips:
- For the Best Flavor: Use a whole chicken cut into pieces instead of just breasts or thighs. The dark meat adds a lot of flavor to the dish.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When browning the chicken, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Use a Cast Iron Skillet: A cast iron skillet is the best choice for cooking chicken and biscuits. It retains heat well and gives the chicken a nice, crispy skin.
- Make the Biscuits Ahead of Time: The biscuits can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. This will save you time on the day you're making the chicken and biscuits.
- Serve with Your Favorite Sides: Chicken and biscuits are a great dish to serve with a variety of sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, green beans, and cornbread.
Conclusion:
Chicken and biscuits is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make the best chicken and biscuits that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
