Method

For the Fried Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine chicken pieces and buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

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

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Coat the Chicken

    Remove chicken from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil. Fry for about 10-12 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  6. 6

    Drain the Chicken

    Once cooked, transfer chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

For the Waffles

  1. 7

    Preheat Waffle Iron

    Turn on your waffle iron to preheat according to manufacturer's instructions.

  2. 8

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk to combine.

  3. 9

    Combine Wet Ingredients

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

  4. 10

    Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  5. 11

    Cook the Waffles

    Pour the recommended amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown, usually about 5-7 minutes.

For Serving

  1. 12

    Plate the Dish

    Place a waffle on a plate, top with a piece of fried chicken, and drizzle with maple syrup. Add a pat of butter on top if desired.
