Chicken and Waffles (sliced) Recipe

American · Main course · 55 min total

A classic Southern comfort dish featuring crispy fried chicken strips served atop fluffy waffles, drizzled with maple syrup for a sweet and savory delight.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs), sliced into 1-inch strips
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1 tsp hot sauce (optional)
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• 2 cups waffle mix (or homemade waffle batter)
• 1 1/3 cups water (or as per mix instructions)
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Add chicken strips, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
2. In a shallow dish, whisk together flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Heat 1 inch of oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).
4. Remove chicken from buttermilk, letting excess drip off. Dredge each strip in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere. Shake off excess.
5. Fry chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Drain on paper towels.
6. Prepare waffle batter according to package directions, adding melted butter. Cook waffles in a preheated waffle iron until golden and crisp.
7. Slice waffles into quarters or strips. Serve chicken strips on top of waffle pieces, drizzle with maple syrup.

Tips

• For extra crispiness, double-dredge the chicken: dip back in buttermilk then flour again.
• Keep cooked chicken warm in a 200°F oven while making waffles.
• Serve with additional hot sauce or honey for variation.
