To Make the Chicken

Ingredients:

  • 4 chicken tenders or 1 large chicken breast sliced into 4 strips
  • 1 c buttermilk
  • 2 Tbsp paprika
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch pepper
  • 1/2 c oil for frying

Ingredients for (Dry) Batter

Ingredients:

  • 1 c flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 6 Tbsp butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

  1. In a clean bowl, add buttermilk, chicken strips, paprika, salt and pepper. Mix, cover, and refrigerate for up to 3 hrs. or overnight.
  2. When you are ready to fry the chicken, add the flour, paprika, garlic powder, and salt and pepper into plastic bag. Mix. With the help of a fork, drop chicken strips into bag, close and mix well until chicken is evenly covered with the flour.
  3. Heat frying oil over medium heat.
  4. Carefully place each strip into the hot oil and fry on each side until chicken is cooked and outside is golden brown. Once chicken is thoroughly cooked, remove from oil and place on paper towels to remove excess oil.



Ingredients for Waffle Batter

Ingredients:

  • 1 c all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp sugar
  • 3 Tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 1/4 egg
  • 3/4 c milk, room temperature
  • 1/2 Tbsp vanilla extract

To Make The Waffles

Directions:

  1. Mix all dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and mix until well incorporated but do not over mix; a few lumps are OK. Set batter aside. Warm up waffle maker to preferred setting. Remember to spray the waffle maker with oil or butter before pouring batter to avoid waffle from sticking.
  2. To serve, place the waffle on a plate, add two chicken strips, and top with a dollop of butter and a drizzle of syrup. Enjoy!
