Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prep the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine buttermilk, eggs, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken thighs and marinate for at least 1 hour (or overnight in the fridge for best results).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Waffle Batter

    In a separate bowl, mix waffle mix according to package instructions. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In the same skillet, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Remove chicken from marinade, coat in flour, and fry until golden brown and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes per side).

  5. 5

    Make the Waffles

    In a waffle maker, pour in the prepared waffle batter and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  6. 6

    Prepare Bourbon Maple Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup and bourbon, warming over low heat until heated through. Mix well.

  7. 7

    Assemble and Serve

    Place a waffle on a plate, top with fried chicken, drizzle with bourbon maple syrup, and garnish with crumbled bacon. Serve with whipped cream if desired.
