Method

Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine chicken thighs and buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.

  2. 2

    Prepare Coating

    In another bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Heat Oil

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Dredge Chicken

    Remove chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.

  5. 5

    Fry Chicken

    Carefully place the coated chicken into the hot oil. Fry for 6-8 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate.

Waffles

  1. 6

    Prepare Waffle Batter

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

  2. 7

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.

  3. 8

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

  4. 9

    Cook Waffles

    Preheat the waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions. Pour the batter into the waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crisp.
