Chicken & Waffles

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix buttermilk, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Add chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Waffle Batter

    In a bowl, mash the sweet potatoes. Add flour, baking powder, sugar, egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a deep skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Dredge marinated chicken in a mixture of all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Cook the Waffles

    Preheat a waffle maker. Pour the sweet potato batter into the preheated waffle maker and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble and Serve

    Serve fried chicken on top of the sweet potato waffle, drizzle with syrup, and enjoy!
