Method
Fried Chicken Preparation
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Add chicken thighs to the buttermilk mixture, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Prepare the Coating
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Fry the Chicken
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and dredge each piece in the flour mixture. Fry the chicken in batches for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
Waffle Preparation
Prepare the Waffle Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, beat eggs and mix with milk and melted butter. Combine wet ingredients with dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Cook the Waffles
Preheat a waffle maker. Pour the batter into the preheated waffle maker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown.
Assembly
Assemble the Dish
Place a waffle on a plate, top with fried chicken, scatter bacon lardons, and drizzle generously with maple syrup.
