Ingredients

• 2 large waffles (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 6 oz)
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• Maple syrup, for drizzling
• Powdered sugar, for garnish (optional)

How to Make Waffle Chicken Sandwich

1. Start by marinating the chicken: Place the chicken breast in a bowl and cover it with buttermilk. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
2. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the waffle batter if making your own. Follow your favorite waffle recipe or heat up store-bought waffles in a toaster or waffle maker according to package instructions.
3. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
4. After the chicken has marinated, remove it from the buttermilk and let any excess drip off. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture until fully coated.
5. In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat until hot. Carefully add the coated chicken breast and fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove and drain on paper towels.
6. To assemble the sandwich, place one waffle on a plate, top it with the fried chicken, and add the second waffle on top.
7. Drizzle maple syrup generously over the sandwich and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra crispy chicken, let the dredged chicken rest for a few minutes before frying.
• Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature; too hot can burn the coating, while too cool can make it greasy.
• If you prefer a spicier kick, add cayenne pepper to the flour mixture.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the chicken for crispy fried tofu for a vegetarian option.
• Add a slice of cheese between the chicken and waffles for a cheesy twist.
• Top with fresh fruit, like sliced strawberries or blueberries, for a fruity flair.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
• Crispy bacon or sausage links for a heartier meal.
• A light green salad to balance the richness of the sandwich.
