Method

Fried Chicken

Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, soak the chicken pieces in buttermilk for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

Prepare the Coating

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

Coat the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture until fully coated.

Fry the Chicken

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Waffles

Prepare the Waffle Batter

In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and melted butter. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed.

Cook the Waffles

Preheat a waffle iron and lightly grease it. Pour the batter into the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown.

Hunter's Gravy

Cook the Bacon

In a pan, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and crumble, leaving the drippings in the pan.

Make the Gravy

Add flour to the bacon drippings and whisk for 1-2 minutes. Gradually add chicken broth, stirring constantly until thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme.

Combine

Stir the crumbled bacon back into the gravy.

Serve

Plate the Dish

Serve a piece of fried chicken on top of a waffle, drizzle with hunter's gravy, and finish with maple syrup.
