Cheddar Scallion Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Add cold cubed butter and cut into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter. Make a well in the flour, pour the milk into the well and mix with a fork until combined.
- Fold in cheese and scallions to the dough, until both are evenly distributed. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and roll out into a 1/2 inch rectangle. Fold the dough into thirds (left side over and right side over the top). Then roll out the dough again and repeat 3 more times.
- Using a round biscuit cutter, cut out as many biscuits as the dough can make. (it should make about 12 biscuits).
- Place the biscuits on the baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and bake for 15 minutes, or until cooked through.

- One at a time, take a marinated chicken thigh and dredge it in the milk/egg mixture. Then coat it with the flour mixture. Place the chicken on a plate and repeat for the remaining chicken thighs.
- In a dutch oven, add 1 1/2 inches of oil. heat over medium to 325°F. Once temperature is met, add two chicken thighs at a time to the oil. Cook for 8-9 minutes or until the internal temp. is 165°F. Once the chicken is done frying, transfer to a wire rack or paper towel lined plate.
