RECIPE EXPERIMENTS: Bang Bang Ham & Cheese Biscuit Cups

KQ host Mitch Hightower once again utilizes one of his favorite convenience products: biscuit dough. The beauties on this page were created using "jumbo" biscuits, cut in half and pressed flat into a muffin pan. The biscuit "cups" were then filled with Bang Bang Sauce, chopped ham and grated pepper jack cheese, as well as diced onion and orange bell pepper. The biscuit dough baked up golden brown on the exterior and perfectly pillowy on the interior.

Mitch says, "These tasted great and they baked up in only 15 minutes. Next trial, I'm going to use marinara sauce and sliced pepperoni for a more pizza-type flavor profile".

Below: The biscuit dough created a tasty "cup" to hold the fillings.

Chef Philip used Bang Bang Sauce instead of tomato sauce or marinara for a boldly flavored pizza. Other toppings included both mozzarella and pepper jack cheeses, red onions, roasted chicken, very crispy bacon lardon, yellow chili peppers and orange bell pepper.

Mitch reports, "The flavor profile was very bold and we loved it".

TASTE TESTING: Bang Bang Sauce

Traditionally this sauce was used in a dish called Bang Bang Chicken.  The "bang bang" had to do with how the chicken itself was prepared.  However, the sweet and spicy sauce caught on and various versions are now used in a variety of other dishes like Bang Bang Shrimp and Bang Bang Cauliflower.  We're trying five different recipes.  Look for the results of this taste test in an upcoming KQ video.
