Chicken
Method
Preparation
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Prepare the Coating
In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Set aside.
Fry the Chicken
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess buttermilk to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere. Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Make the Waffles
Prepare your waffle batter according to your favorite recipe or use a mix. Preheat your waffle iron and cook waffles until golden brown and crispy.
Assemble the Dish
Serve the fried chicken on top of the waffles. Drizzle with maple syrup and garnish with powdered sugar or any additional toppings of your choice.
