Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In a separate bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

Waffles Preparation

  1. 4

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 5

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

  3. 6

    Make the Waffle Batter

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  4. 7

    Cook the Waffles

    Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions. Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.

Gravy Preparation

  1. 8

    Make the Roux

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it turns a light brown color.

  2. 9

    Add Liquid Ingredients

    Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes until thickened.

  3. 10

    Finish the Gravy

    Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the gravy is creamy and smooth.
