  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper

For Waffles:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

For Serving:

  • Maple syrup

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken

  • Place chicken in buttermilk. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. This keeps it juicy and tender.

Prepare Coating

  • In a bowl, mix flour, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, salt and pepper. This creates a flavorful crispy coating.

Coat the Chicken

  • Remove chicken from buttermilk. Coat it well in flour mixture. Press gently so coating sticks properly.

Heat the Oil

  • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Make sure oil is hot but not smoking before frying.

Fry the Chicken

  • Place chicken in oil carefully. Fry 6–8 minutes each side until golden brown and fully cooked inside.

Drain Excess Oil

  • Remove chicken and place on paper towels. This removes extra oil and keeps it crispy.

Make Waffle Batter

  • In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add egg, milk, and butter. Mix until smooth.

Cook the Waffles

  • Pour batter into waffle maker. Cook until golden and crisp outside while soft inside.

Assemble the Dish

  • Place waffles on a plate. Add crispy chicken on top. This creates the perfect sweet and savory combo.

Add Toppings

  • Drizzle maple syrup over chicken and waffles. Add butter if desired for extra richness.

Serve Immediately

  • Serve hot for best taste. Enjoy crispy chicken and soft waffles together.

Notes

  • Use boneless chicken for easier eating
  • Double coat chicken for extra crispiness
  • Add hot sauce to buttermilk for spice
  • Use whole wheat flour for healthier waffles
  • Add honey butter for extra flavor
  • Keep chicken warm in oven while cooking waffles
  • Do not overcrowd the pan while frying
  • Serve immediately for best texture
