Chicken and waffles
Chicken and waffles is a delicious dish that combines crispy fried chicken and fluffy waffles. It's a wonderful combination of savory and sweet flavors. The chicken is typically seasoned, breaded, and fried to perfection, while the waffles are made with a light and fluffy batter. When served together, the crispy chicken pairs beautifully with the soft waffles.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken (bone-in, skin-on pieces like thighs and drumsticks)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 cups buttermilk
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 cups waffle mix (follow the instructions on the package to prepare the batter)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- Butter (for serving)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and dried oregano to make the seasoned flour mixture.
- Dip each piece of chicken into the buttermilk, then coat it in the seasoned flour mixture, making sure to evenly coat all sides.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to about 350°F (175°C). Make sure there's enough oil to fully submerge the chicken pieces.
- Carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil and fry them for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Once the chicken is cooked, place it on a wire rack to drain any excess oil.
- While the chicken is frying, prepare the waffle batter according to the instructions on the package.
- Preheat your waffle iron and cook the waffles until they are golden and crispy.
- To serve, place a piece of fried chicken on top of a warm waffle. Add a pat of butter on top and drizzle with maple syrup.
- Repeat the process for the remaining chicken and waffles.
