Belgian Waffles

Maple Tahini Sauce

Method

Fried Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

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

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, dredge in flour mixture, and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Belgian Waffles

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

    In another bowl, beat eggs, then add milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

  3. 6

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