Cooking Steps
• Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Measure the butter (80g for 2 people / 160g for 4 people), chop into small cubes and set aside. • Thinly slice the spring onion. Thinly slice apple into sticks. • Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a medium bowl, combine All-American spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken and toss to combine. Set aside.
• To a large bowl, add the measured butter and basic sponge mix. Using finger tips, rub the butter into the flour mix, until resembling fine breadcrumbs. • Add the spring onion, Cheddar cheese, and the milk. Gently mix until the dough comes together.
TIP: Careful not to overmix the dough! TIP: Don't worry if the dough is slightly crumbly, gently press to bring together!
• Tip the dough onto a lined oven tray and press into a 12cm x 15cm rectangle, around 3cm thick. • Cut the dough into 6 even rectangles and gently separate. Brush the tops of the biscuits with a splash of milk. • Bake until lightly browned, 15-18 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to cover the base. To the bowl with the chicken, add cornflour and the plain flour and toss to combine. • When oil is hot, dust off any excess flour from chicken and cook until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• While the chicken is cooking, boil the kettle. • In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage mix, apple, baby spinach leaves, a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. • In a medium heatproof bowl, combine gravy granules and the boiling water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people), whisking, until smooth, 1 minute.
• Slice chicken (if preferred). • Divide Southern fried chicken, Cheddar biscuits and apple slaw between plates. • Serve with gravy. Enjoy!
TIP: Spread extra butter over the biscuits to serve if you want! Enjoy!
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The chicken and gravy were widely enjoyed, though some found the chicken seasoning mild and felt it could use more depth. The biscuits divided opinion — some loved them, while others found them bland or floury, especially without gravy.
- Ease of prep: Most found the recipe manageable, though several noted it takes well over an hour due to the number of steps and bowls involved.
- Suggestions: Adding extra cheddar and a little more salt to the biscuit dough can boost flavour, and some suggested panko breadcrumbs on the chicken for extra crispiness. Spreading butter over the biscuits before serving and pairing them generously with gravy helped balance any dryness. One reviewer noted that clarifying whether salted or unsalted butter should be used would help avoid an overly salty result.
- Leftovers: Any extra biscuits made a handy morning tea snack for kids the next day.
- Portions: The recipe yields plenty of biscuits, which several families found more than enough for a generous serve.
