Method

Fried Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In a separate bowl, mix the rye flour, all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper until well combined.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Bread the Chicken

    Remove chicken from the marinade and let excess buttermilk drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the breaded chicken pieces in the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Use a thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Drain on paper towels.

Waffle Preparation

  1. 6

    Mix the Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rye flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

  2. 7

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. 8

    Combine and Cook

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Preheat your waffle iron and cook the batter according to the manufacturer’s instructions until golden brown.

Serving

  1. 9

    Assemble the Dish
