If I have learned anything over the years, it is that KFC is my go-to fast-food restaurant for side dishes. Sometimes I even go buy some if I know I am having guests over or too lazy to cook. They have such a wide variety of mouth-watering options that almost constantly change, making it so difficult to choose the best ones. But for me it can be an easy choice when it comes to KFC biscuits.
I have always been a sucker for hot, flaky biscuits and theirs are by far the best I have ever had. They are flaky, buttery, soft and crisp all at the same time. Not even grandma can make biscuits like these!
Now, not that these biscuits aren’t great on their own, but their sole purpose in life is to be a vessel for other foods – that’s what makes this recipe so perfect. All the ingredients (especially the sweet and salty flavors) are perfectly balanced to not take the attention away from other foods.
They make a great side dish to many meals such as stews, curries, roasts and of course, fried chicken.

How To Make Copycat KFC Biscuits
Preheat your oven to 415 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Using your hands or a butter knife, cut in the butter until the flour looks like coarse bread crumbs. This does take a while so be patient. Slowly incorporate your milk until a dough forms. You might not need to use all of it.
Remove the dough from the bowl and place it on a lightly floured surface. Knead your dough until it is smooth and elastic.
Roll the dough until it is about ½ inch thick. Using a 3 inch round cookie cutter cut disks from the dough. Re-use the left-over dough to cut more disks.
Place the biscuits on the lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until fully risen and golden brown.
Serve immediately with a wide variety of accompaniments.
