Preparation Steps

Prepare the Waffles
In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and melted butter. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Preheat the waffle maker and cook the batter according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown. Keep warm.

Prepare the Chicken
