Description
A comforting dish combining crispy fried chicken with fluffy waffles, perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 pound chicken strips
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron to the desired setting. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, combining until just mixed; avoid overmixing to keep your waffles fluffy.
- Season the chicken strips thorough with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat enough oil over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, carefully add the chicken strips. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Follow your waffle iron’s instructions to pour in the batter and cook until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
- To serve, stack the crispy chicken on top of a warm waffle and drizzle with maple syrup or your favorite sauce.
Notes
For extra fluffy waffles, let the batter rest for about 5 minutes before cooking. Reheat fried chicken in an air fryer to maintain crispiness.
