Ingredients

  • Chicken breast - 2 pieces (about 300g)
  • Buttermilk - 1 cup (240ml)
  • All-purpose flour - 1 cup (120g)
  • Cornstarch - 1/4 cup (30g)
  • Paprika - 1 teaspoon
  • Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
  • Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt - 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Egg - 1 large
  • Vegetable oil - for frying
  • Waffle mix - 1 cup (120g)
  • Water - 3/4 cup (180ml)
  • Maple syrup - for serving
  • Butter - for serving

Steps

  1. Marinate the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  2. In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and let excess drip off. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, ensuring it is well coated.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once hot, fry the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
  5. In a separate bowl, prepare the waffle mix by combining the waffle mix with water and the egg. Stir until just combined.
  6. Preheat a waffle iron and lightly grease it. Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown.
  7. To serve, place a waffle on each plate, top with fried chicken, and drizzle with maple syrup. Add a pat of butter on top for extra richness.
