Cook the Waffles
Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions. Lightly grease it with non-stick spray or a little melted butter. Pour the recommended amount of batter onto the waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crispy. Repeat until all batter is used.
Chicken Tenders

Prepare the Chicken
In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and paprika. In another bowl, whisk the egg and buttermilk together.

Coat the Chicken
Dip each chicken tender first in the buttermilk mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture to coat thoroughly.

Fry the Chicken
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated chicken tenders in batches, frying until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
