Fried Chicken

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and chopped fresh sage. Add chicken thighs and marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in flour. Fry chicken in hot oil for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Make the Waffles

    In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and melted butter. Combine wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Pour batter into a preheated waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer's instructions.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Toppings

    Cook smoked bacon until crispy. Slice market tomato.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve fried chicken on top of waffles, topped with crispy bacon and slices of tomato. Garnish with fresh rosemary.
