Method

For the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    Add the chicken breasts to the buttermilk mixture and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Breading

    In another bowl, place the flour and season it with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Bread the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the seasoned flour, ensuring an even coating.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken and fry for about 6-8 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

For the Waffles

  1. 6

    Prepare the Waffle Batter

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

  2. 7

    Mix Wet Ingredients

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

  3. 8

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.

  4. 9

    Cook the Waffles

    Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Pour the appropriate amount of batter into the waffle iron and cook until golden and crisp.

For the Glaze

  1. 10

    Make the Glaze

    In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey and butter. Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
