Directions
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Add chicken thighs, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Prepare Waffle Batter
In a separate bowl, mix together waffle mix, milk, and eggs until smooth. If using homemade batter, combine flour, baking powder, and any additional ingredients as needed.

Fry the Chicken
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Remove chicken from marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge chicken in a mixture of flour and cornstarch, shaking off excess. Fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Cook the Waffles
Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Pour waffle batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
