If you like a little Cajun spice, Bojangles’ legendary Cajun Filet Biscuit is the perfect option. Their crispy, boldly seasoned fried chicken breast filet has just enough heat, and is served inside one of their signature made-from-scratch, flaky buttermilk biscuits. “Cajun filet biscuit with cheese and a large Bo rounds fuels my soul,” a Redditor states, while another fan declares them “top tier.”

Chick-fil-A’s iconic sweet honey butter makes its breakfast chicken biscuit a popular option. It is available in traditional or spicy varieties, which is why it is a cult breakfast favorite. “This is a good breakfest to start my day right with,” a Redditor proclaims.

Hardee’s

Hardee’s Hand-Breaded Chicken Biscuit is a “pride” menu item for Hardee’s. “It starts with a chicken fillet hand-dipped in eggs and buttermilk then slightly breaded. We stack it on one of our warm, fluffy Made from Scratch™ Biscuits for the perfect meal to greet the day,” they write. It is made to order, and oh-so-tasty. “I ordered the hand-breaded spicy chicken biscuit and a small order of hash browns. I had to wait a few minutes for the chicken to be cooked, but I didn’t mind, as it was clear that it was indeed  hand-breaded and fried to order. It was doused in honey and half devoured before I forced myself to stop and take a picture to give Hardee’s the credit they deserve,” a Facebooker says.

Biscuit Belly

Biscuit Belly specializes in biscuit meals, and the Rockwell chicken biscuit is one of the most popular. It comes with buttermilk fried chicken breast, cheddar, and sausage gravy. If you want to go all out, get The Rockwell Supreme, which adds an over-easy egg and bacon. There is also the Mama’s Boy, which tops the breast with roasted jalapeño pimento cheese, spicy belly pickles, and fried green tomato. “Still delectable. Huge Thick fluffy Biscuits, seasoned chicken and glorious toppings. Im a tradionalist. Order the Rockwell and loaded tots. They were delicious,” a Redditor says.
