Ingredients for Chicken and Waffles

Method

Directions for Chicken and Waffles

1

Marinate Chicken

In a bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Add chicken thighs and marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

2

Prepare Flour Mixture

In a separate bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and baking powder.

3

Dredge Chicken

Remove chicken from buttermilk marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, making sure to coat well.

4

Fry Chicken

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken for about 7-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5

Make Waffles

Prepare waffle batter according to package instructions or your homemade recipe. Preheat waffle iron and cook waffles until golden brown.

6

Assemble Dish

Place a waffle on a plate, top with crispy fried chicken, and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve immediately.
