In another bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Coat Chicken

Remove chicken from buttermilk, let excess drip off, and coat in the flour mixture.

Fry Chicken

Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry chicken tenders until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Make the Waffles

Mix Dry Ingredients

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

Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, beat eggs, then add milk and melted butter.

Combine and Cook

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Preheat waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer's instructions until golden.

Prepare Sweet Potato Fries

Cut and Season

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut sweet potatoes into fries, toss with olive oil, salt, and paprika.

Bake Fries

Spread fries on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy.

Assemble the Dish

Layer and Serve

On a plate, layer two waffles, add fried chicken tenders on top, and drizzle with Garlic Dill Sauce and sweet sriracha. Serve with sweet potato fries and ancho chipotle mayo on the side.
