Method

For the Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

    In another bowl, mix the flour with Cajun spice. Remove the chicken from buttermilk and dredge it in the flour mixture, ensuring it's well coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

For the Waffles
