Chicken

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    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 submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

    In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture until fully coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated chicken thighs. Fry for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.

  4. 4

    Make the Waffles

    Prepare your favorite waffle batter according to the recipe or package instructions. Cook the waffles in a preheated waffle iron until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Serve

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