Ready to cook? Follow these steps for a delightful culinary experience:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
2. Prepare the Biscuits: Preheat your oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the cheddar and jalapeños. Add the buttermilk and mix until just combined.
3. Shape and Bake the Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
4. Fry the Chicken: In a shallow dish, mix the flour and cornmeal. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.
5. Assemble the Towers: Slice the biscuits in half and layer with the fried chicken. If you’re feeling extra indulgent, add a dollop of your favorite sauce or a slice of pickle for extra tang.

Each step is crafted to bring out flavors and textures that will remind you of the heartwarming meals shared around family tables.
