Method
Chicken Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully immersed in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Prepare the Coating
In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and cornstarch together. This will be used to coat the chicken.

Fry the Chicken
In a large deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, then dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the chicken in the oil, frying in batches if necessary. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, drain the chicken on paper towels.
Waffle Preparation

Make the Waffle Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Cook the Waffles
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once heated, pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle iron and close the lid. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, usually about 5 minutes, depending on your waffle maker. Repeat with remaining batter.
