Method

Waffle Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Waffle Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the pearl sugar.

  2. 2

    Cook the Waffles

    Preheat the waffle iron. Pour enough batter into the preheated waffle iron to cover the surface. Cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown and crispy. Keep warm.

Chicken Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, marinate the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes. In a shallow dish, mix together flour, salt, and pepper. In another dish, whisk the egg.

  2. 4

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge the marinated chicken in flour, then dip into the egg, and finally coat with bread crumbs.

  3. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    On each plate, stack a waffle and top with a piece of fried chicken. Drizzle with caramel sauce and add matchstick slices of granny smith apples on top. In a small bowl, mix honey and Tabasco to create the honey butter, then drizzle over the chicken. Garnish with powdered sugar.
