How to make it
-
In a bowl, combine buttermilk, chicken thighs, salt, and black pepper. Let sit 10–15 minutes while you prep the pancakes.
-
In another bowl, whisk pancake mix, milk, and egg until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to ensure fluffy pancakes when cooking. Heat a skillet over medium heat, melt a little butter, and cook pancakes until golden on both sides. Set aside and keep warm.
-
In a shallow bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, and paprika. Remove chicken from buttermilk, dredge in seasoned flour, and press to coat well.
-
Heat oil in a skillet to 350°F. Fry chicken 5–7 minutes per side until crispy and cooked through. Transfer to a rack or paper towels.
-
Stack pancakes, top with fried chicken, and drizzle generously with Lee Kum Kee Chili Crisp Hot Honey. Serve immediately.
