Instructions
For the Pimento:
Mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer to desired consistency, saving some chopped green onions for garnishing. Cover and set asideor refrigerate.
For the Biscuits:
Preheat Oven to 450 & line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients, cut in the butter with a pastry cutter to small pea-size crumbles, then add remaining ingredients by creating a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
Mix with a spatula until well combined, without overmixing.
Turn out onto a floured surface and knead the dough a couple times. Dough will be somewhat sticky but pliable.
Pat the dough to flatten to about ¾” thickness, and cut out 6-8 biscuits.
Bake 2” apart for 15 min, or until tops are slightly golden. Brush with melted butter if desired.
For the Chicken Tenders:
Mix buttermilk & egg in one dredging dish, and spices & breadcrumbs in another.
Dip tenders one at a time into wet ingredients first, then roll in breadcrumb mixture and set aside.
Preheat Air Fryer to 400, then air fry the tenders without overlapping for 6 minutes. Then flip tenders and air fry an additional 4 minutes, or until no longer pink & internal temp is 165.
In a small bowl, mix honey & siracha. Chop the green onions.
To assemble:
Cut biscuits in half, spoon desired amount of pimento cheese on bottom half, place a chicken tender on top of cheese, then spoon on the desired amount of honey siracha, sprinkle with green onions, & top with the other half of the biscuit.
Enjoy!
