There some foods that confuse you on which meal you should be eating them? I know for me, breakfast is one of those meals that is spot on morning, noon or night. These Easy Chicken and Waffles will be one of those recipes that may cause a little meal appropriate confusion, but lets just say “who cares!” Chicken and waffles with warm melted butter, and thick succulent syrup is breakfast, lunch, and dinner appropriate.
Chicken and Waffles is an American cuisine. It is said to have originated in Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine and the fried chicken adds to the soul food version of chicken and waffles.
The only necessary condiments to serve with chicken and waffles is butter and syrup. Another version is stewed chicken with gravy over waffles.
Chicken N’ Waffles
Servings – 4 Prep Time – 20 Minutes Cook Time – 15 Minutes
Ingredients:
Chicken:
4 thin sliced boneless skinless chicken breast
2-1/2 cups peanut oil or frying oil of choice
1 cup cornstarch
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk divided
1-1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Waffles:
2 cups bisquick mix
1-1/3 cups whole milk
2 tbsp canola oil
1 egg
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp vanilla
Powered sugar, for garnish
1 bottle of favorite syrup, warmed
butter for waffles, optional
Directions:
Prepare three separate shallow containers. One with cornstarch, a second with egg and 2/3 cups buttermilk and whisk together, and third with flour, garlic salt, paprika, pepper, cayenne pepper, chili powder, baking powder, garlic powder. Stir in 1/3 cup buttermilk until crumbly. One chicken breast at a time dredge in the cornstarch, then the egg/buttermilk mixture, then into the flour mixture.
Set on a baking sheet until ready to fry.
Heat a skillet with 2-1/2 cups peanut oil on high heat. One chicken breast at a time fry until golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes per side, flipping only once.
Place on a baking sheet lined with paper towels until all chicken has been fried.
Mix all the waffle ingredients into a large bowl and pour into a lightly greased waffle iron. Cook until golden brown about 4 minutes. Remove and cut into 4 even waffles.
Or if you have a mini dash waffle iron like myself, you can do one at a time. 🤷🏻♀️
Place one piece of fried chicken on top of each waffle and pour warmed syrup over the top and sprinkle with powdered sugar, serve immediately.
