Method

For the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Ensure the chicken is well coated.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken thighs.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the bourbon and maple syrup, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring to a simmer, then add the butter, stirring until melted.

  5. 5

    Combine

    Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it with the bourbon-maple sauce. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes.

For the Waffles

  1. 6

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 7

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

  3. 8

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

  4. 9

    Prepare the Waffle Iron

    Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  5. 10

    Cook the Waffles

    Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.
