Method
Waffle Directions
- 1
Prepare the Waffle Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until just mixed, being careful not to overmix.

Cook the Waffles
Preheat the waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle maker and cook until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Chicken Directions
- 3
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, soak the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results. This helps tenderize the chicken.

Prepare the Coating
In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.

Fry the Chicken
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, and dredge in the flour mixture, pressing firmly to adhere. Fry chicken in hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
