Delicious Chicken and Waffles
This combination is a classic for a reason—crispy, juicy chicken paired with sweet, fluffy waffles topped with syrup. It’s the kind of meal that warms your heart and fills your belly!
Ingredients:
- 4 pieces of chicken (your choice: thighs or breasts)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a kick)
- 2 waffles (you can use pre-made or homemade)
- Syrup for drizzling
- Butter (optional, for that extra richness)
Instructions:
- Start by marinating your chicken. In a bowl, combine the chicken with buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
- When you’re ready to cook, heat up oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. You want enough oil to submerge the chicken.
- In another bowl, mix flour with garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, salt, and cayenne. This is your seasoned flour, and it’s what’s gonna give your chicken that crispy coating.
- Take each piece of chicken out of the buttermilk, shaking off any excess before dredging it in the seasoned flour. Make sure each piece is well-coated.
- Carefully place the chicken into the hot oil. Fry for about 8-10 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Don’t overcrowd the skillet; you want that oil to stay hot.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare your waffles according to the package or your recipe. Just a minute in the toaster will do! Serve them warm.
- Once the chicken is done, let it drain on paper towels to absorb any extra oil.
- Now for the fun part—stack your delicious chicken on top of the warm waffles, drizzle with syrup, and add a pat of butter if you’re feeling extra indulgent!
There you have it! A perfect chicken and waffles meal that’s bound to impress. So gather your loved ones, serve it up, and enjoy every bite!
