Honey fried chicken and waffles are a popular and delicious dish that combines the savory goodness of crispy fried chicken with the sweet and fluffy texture of waffles. Here's a simple recipe to make honey fried chicken and waffles:
Ingredients for chicken and waffles
For the Fried Chicken:
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Vegetable oil for frying
For the Waffles:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 3/4 cups milk
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Serving:
• Honey for drizzling
• Maple syrup
• Butter
Instructions:
Fried Chicken:
• Marinate the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 4 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
• In a shallow dish, mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat.
• Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
• Fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
• Remove the fried chicken from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Waffles:
• Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don't overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
• Cook the waffles in the preheated waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions until they are golden brown and crisp.
