Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, mix together the buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully submerged in the buttermilk mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

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

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Coat and Fry the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess buttermilk to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring a thorough coating. Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil and fry for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Making the Waffles

  1. 5

    Prepare the Waffle Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

  2. 6

    Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.

  3. 7

    Cook the Waffles

    Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions. Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Serving

  1. 8

    Assemble the Dish

    Place a waffle on a plate, top with a piece of fried chicken, and drizzle generously with maple syrup. Add a pat of butter on top for extra flavor.
