Waffles

Fresh Fruit

Method

Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, black pepper, paprika, and one egg. Add the chicken breasts and ensure they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Prepare Coating

    In a shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Fry Chicken

    Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from buttermilk marinade and let excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture until fully coated. Carefully place the chicken into the hot oil and fry for about 7-8 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

Waffles

  1. 4

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 5

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix the milk, one egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

  3. 6

    Combine and Cook

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Preheat your waffle iron and pour the batter onto it, using the manufacturer's instructions. Cook until golden brown.

Tater Tots

  1. 7

    Prepare Tater Tots

    If frying, heat the oil in a deep skillet. Otherwise, you can bake according to package instructions. Season the tater tots with salt and black pepper.

  2. 8

    Cook Tater Tots

    Fry for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy or bake according to package instructions.

Fresh Fruit

  1. 9

    Prepare Fresh Fruit

    Wash the strawberries and blueberries. Slice the banana into rounds. Serve the fruit fresh alongside the chicken and waffles.
