Method

For the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Breading the Chicken

    In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Dip each chicken breast first in the egg mixture, then in the flour mixture, coating evenly.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add breaded chicken breasts and fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

For the Waffles

  1. 4

    Mix the Dry Ingredients

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

    Mix the Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.

  3. 6

    Combine and Cook the Waffles

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Preheat a waffle iron and pour batter into the iron, cooking according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown.

For the Gravy

  1. 7

    Cook the Sausage

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbled.

  2. 8

    Make the Gravy

    Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine. Gradually whisk in milk, stirring continuously until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and black pepper.

To Serve
