Waffle and Chicken Components

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Waffle Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, cooked bacon, and cheddar cheese. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

  2. 2

    Cook the Waffles

    Preheat a waffle iron and grease it lightly. Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer instructions until golden brown. Repeat until all batter is used.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken tenders and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and fry until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Place a waffle on a plate, top with crispy chicken tenders, and drizzle with spicy syrup. Serve immediately.
