Pour the buttermilk into a separate bowl, large enough to fit a piece of chicken. Taylor gently reduces maple syrup in a pan until it starts to bubble, then adds Sriracha to taste. Mix the flour, seasoning salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a medium bowl. While the biscuits and the chicken are delicious on their own, the cherry on top of this dish is the Sriracha-maple glaze. The chicken takes a dip into a pot of oil heated to 375° F until the exterior is golden brown and the meat is moist and juicy. ![]() ![]() Taylor dips the chicken into batter, then creates a crispy coating with cornstarch, potato starch, and potato flour. To maximize the surface area for the seasoning, he uses a knife to create crosshatches along the flesh. He thinly slices chicken breasts into cutlets that perfectly fit inside the biscuits. Next, Taylor teaches us how to make the fried chicken. Taylor provided impromptu catering for a Grammys after-party and these chicken biscuit sandwiches were the biggest hit. This led to an hours-long marathon of baking for some of the biggest names in music-like Nas, Mary J. One night, Taylor got a call from the rapper at three in the morning requesting a batch of these biscuits. He often kept pre-baked biscuits on hand at Diddy's house so he could make a batch at the drop of a hat. Lastly, Taylor punches out the dough into rounds and bakes the biscuits until golden brown. Then he carefully mixes in buttermilk and folds the dough several times to create the signature flaky layers. This technique evenly distributes the fat without it melting. He grates cold, unsalted European butter directly into the dry ingredients. ![]() To a standard mixture of flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder, Taylor uses a game-changing tool to incorporate the butter: a cheese grater. The foundation of this sandwich is a flaky, buttery biscuit, topped crispy fried chicken and a sticky Sriracha-maple glaze. The rapper's favorite dish of all time is French toast, so Taylor infused some of those breakfast flavors into a recipe that can be eaten at all hours of the day. Although Diddy has an estimated net worth of $1 billion, Taylor says he still remains grounded and loves comfort food. The private chef knew he was up to the task and got started right away. Taylor was first introduced to Diddy through his agency and was warned about the rapper-slash-mogul's intense work schedule. This dish was Diddy's most popular request and was regularly served for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Ethan Taylor, former personal chef to stars like Justin Bieber, Eddie Murphy, and Sean Combs (aka Diddy), joined us in Los Angeles to share his recipe for Sriracha-maple chicken biscuit sandwiches. ![]()
