What's a chicken biscuit though?

A chicken sandwich with a biscuit for bread

What type of biscuit though? Hobnobs? Custard Creams? Honestly I'm struggling to think of a biscuit that would go well with chicken.

I’m guessing they are asking because in British English biscuits are cookies?

In case you aren’t being an intentional dumbass; in American ‘biscuit’ means savory buttery pastry roll. Each of the items you listed would be referred to here as ‘cookies’.

I know what they are. It was a bit of a deliberate play on words, swapping the American and English definitions of biscuit. A joke that was perhaps a bit too subtle or too British for Americans to comprehend.

I got it but, to me at least, the delivery/wording made it unfunny for me. I took it as being intentionally thick and condescending, which is also how I read this response.

It's also about the two thousandth time everybody in America has heard that Brits call cookies biscuits. It's not even funny the first time, just like an "oh, ok" moment.

Fluffy or flaky biscuit (american, savory buttery pastry dough) sandwich with a bit of breaded fried chicken. Frequently with some honey on it.

Biscuit cut in half with (usually) a fried chicken patty or fried breast meat in the middle.
