Today we’re whipping up some southern style chicken and waffles! I learned this recipe from watching my grandmother in the kitchen when I was younger. What a great way to start off a Sunday waking up the smell of sweet waffles and savory fried chicken. It’s the perfect mix! Especially when you pair it with a really good maple syrup. I love Aunt Jemima but for this one I used a bourbon maple syrup that just sent this meal over the top! The strawberries and confectioners sugar was the perfect addition to an already perfect meal.

Instructions

Marinate your chicken.

Step 1

Clean your chicken & pat it dry.

Step 2

Step 4

Grab two separate bowls

Step 5

In one bowl mix your dry ingredients. 2 cups of flower, 1 1/2 cups of sugar & 1 tsp of salt.

Step 6

In another bowl mix your wet ingredients. 2 eggs, 1 1/2 cups of milk, 1 tbsp vanilla extract, 1/2 cup of melted butter.

Step 7

Pour the wet mix into the dry bowl and blend. Let this rest for 5 minutes. Cook your waffles until desired firmness.

Step 8

Preheat vegetable oil to 350 degrees F.

Step 9

Mix your favorite seasonings with 1 cup of flour. I used 1 tbsp of each seasoning listed above.

Step 10

Take your chicken out of buttermilk mix and evenly coat it with the flour mix. Grandma used to pour all of the flour in a grocery bag and shake it. I used a metal bowl and gloves to make sure it’s evenly coated. Shake off the excess!

Step 11

Drop it in the preheated grease.

Step 12

Serve.
