Toppings

Method

Brining the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare Brine

    In a bowl, mix sweet tea and salt until dissolved. Submerge chicken breasts in the brine, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 2

    Coat the Chicken

    Remove chicken from brine and pat dry. In one bowl, mix flour, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place pecan meal.

  2. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Dip chicken first in flour mixture, then in egg, and finally in pecan meal. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Making the Waffles

  1. 4

    Prepare Waffle Batter

    In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract together. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed.

  2. 5

    Cook the Waffles

    Preheat a waffle iron and pour batter into the iron. Cook according to manufacturer's instructions until waffles are golden brown.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Serve

    Place a waffle on a plate, top with fried chicken, drizzle with jalapeño-peach jam and strawberry syrup, and garnish with fresh strawberries.
