Equipment
- Large cast-iron skillet
- Electric Waffle Maker
- Large mixing bowls
- Wire cooling rack
- Whisk
- Tongs
- Measuring cups
- Paper towels
Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken Thighs
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Butter melted
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 cup Maple Syrup
- 1 tbsp Hot Sauce
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
Instructions
1. Marinate the Chicken
- Soak your chicken in buttermilk and hot sauce first. Let it sit for at least thirty minutes for flavor.
2. Prepare the Flour Mix
- Mix flour, cornstarch, and spices in a big bowl. Season it well with salt and black pepper too.
3. Coat the Chicken
- Dredge each piece of chicken into the flour mixture. Press the flour down so it sticks to the meat.
4. Fry Until Golden
- Heat oil in your skillet to a medium-high heat. Fry chicken until it reaches a dark golden brown color.
5. Mix Waffle Batter
- Whisk your dry ingredients with eggs and melted butter. Do not overmix the batter to keep it light.
6. Cook the Waffles
- Pour the batter into your hot waffle iron now. Cook until the steam stops and they look crisp.
7. Plate the Dish
- Place a hot waffle on a clean white plate. Top it with a piece of crispy fried chicken.
8. Add the Toppings
- Drizzle plenty of spicy maple syrup over the top. Garnish with green onions for a fresh pop of color.
Notes
➡️ Always use a thermometer to check the oil temperature first.
➡️ Do not crowd the pan while you fry the chicken.
➡️ Use room temperature eggs for the smoothest waffle batter ever.
➡️ Let the fried chicken rest on a rack before serving.
➡️ Add a pinch of salt to your maple syrup topping.
➡️ Sift your flour to avoid lumps in the waffle mix.
➡️ Use peanut oil for the best high-heat frying results.
