For the Chicken & Waffles

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk and egg. Dip each chicken breast into the buttermilk mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture until well coated. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated chicken and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Make the Waffles

    Prepare the waffle mix according to package instructions, adding water as needed. Preheat your waffle iron and pour the batter into the iron. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Cut the waffles into smaller squares. Place a piece of fried chicken on top of each waffle square. Drizzle with maple syrup and serve warm.
