SYNOPSIS
Chicken & Biscuits is a hilarious family comedy by Douglas Lyons about rival sisters, Baneatta and Beverly, who reunite for their father's funeral, where long-buried secrets, family drama, and Black joy explode at the church altar, forcing them to confront truths that could either heal or break them, all while navigating eccentric relatives and delicious Southern hospitality. It's known for its big laughs, unapologetically Black perspective, and themes of unconditional love and forgiveness.
