Chicken Tenders

Belgian Waffles

Toppings

Method

Prepare Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the buttermilk and chicken tenders. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor.

  2. 2

    Prepare Breading

    In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

  3. 3

    Bread Chicken

    Remove chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge the chicken tenders in the flour mixture until fully coated. Shake off excess flour.

  4. 4

    Fry Chicken

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Carefully add chicken tenders in batches, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Make Belgian Waffles

  1. 5

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

  2. 6

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

  3. 7

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.

  4. 8

    Cook Waffles

    Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions. Pour the appropriate amount of batter into the waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.

Assemble Dish

  1. 9

    Plate Chicken and Waffles

    Place a Belgian waffle on a plate, top with a few crispy chicken tenders, and finish with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and a dollop of whipped butter.
