Method

Waffle Preparation

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.

Mix Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Combine Mixtures

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Cook Waffles

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the waffle iron and cook until golden brown. Repeat until all batter is used.

Chicken Preparation

Prepare Chicken Coating

In a shallow bowl, mix all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Drench Chicken

In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs and buttermilk. Dip each chicken tender into the buttermilk mixture, then coat it in the flour mixture.

Fry Chicken

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated chicken tenders. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Hot Honey Preparation

Make Hot Honey

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey and red pepper flakes. Stir occasionally until heated through and combined. Set aside.

Assembly

Assemble Sliders

On a waffle, place a fried chicken tender, a slice of bacon, a drizzle of hot honey, a spoonful of pickled onions, and a handful of baby arugula. Top with another waffle.

Serve

Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup on the side. Enjoy your Chicken & Waffle Sliders!
