Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Dip each chicken tender in the buttermilk, then coat it with the flour mixture. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chicken

    In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken tenders in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Make the Waffles

    Prepare the Belgian waffles according to the package instructions using waffle mix and water. Cook until golden brown in a preheated waffle iron.

  4. 4

    Prepare Home Fries

    Cook home fries according to package instructions or prepare fresh home fries by sautéing diced potatoes in a skillet with oil until crispy and golden.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, stack a waffle, add two chicken tenders on top, and drizzle with hot honey butter. Serve with home fries on the side and offer buffalo, sweet chili, or maple barbeque sauce for dipping.
