Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. In another bowl, combine the buttermilk and egg. Dip each piece of chicken in the buttermilk mixture, then coat with the flour mixture. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat the cooking oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated chicken pieces. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Cook the Waffles

    While the chicken is frying, prepare the waffles according to the package instructions or your homemade recipe. Keep warm in the oven until ready to serve.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, place a warm waffle, top with a piece of fried chicken, and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Add fresh berries on the side.
