Supposedly named due to their size equivalency with a cat's head, these plus-sized biscuits can hold up to whatever you want to stuff in there—in this case, your favorite deli or fast-food fried chicken tenders, pimiento cheese, and a spoonful of pepper jelly to bring it all together. Big, buttery, and brimming with deliciousness, these crowd-pleasing biscuit sandwiches will get your crew fueled up for a fun day full of football. Time-Saving Tips for Making These Biscuit Sandwiches Faster and Easier Make Biscuits a Breeze: Prep dough up to a month ahead. Follow Cathead Biscuits recipe through Step 3; freeze dough rounds until solid. Transfer to a resealable freeze bag; store in freezer. Bake as directed, adding 2 to 3 minutes to bake time. Let Someone Else Do the Frying: Outsource the chicken for the biscuit sandwiches. Stop by your favorite fast-food spot or grocery store deli, and pick up a box of fried chicken tenders. Buy premade pimiento cheese, or whip up some a day or two in advance.
