Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts small
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups milk
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup

Method
 

  1. Soak the chicken in 1 cup buttermilk, then dredge in 1 cup of the flour and fry until golden and cooked through.
  2. Whisk the remaining flour, milk, eggs, baking powder, and 1 cup buttermilk into a waffle batter.
  3. Cook the batter in a hot waffle iron until crisp.
  4. Set a piece of fried chicken on each waffle.
  5. Drizzle with maple syrup and serve hot.

Notes

A pinch of cayenne in the chicken plays perfectly against the sweet syrup.
