Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 eggs
¼ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon salt
1 quart peanut oil for frying
8 chicken tenders
1 cup mayonnaise
¼ cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
12 slices bacon
8 thin slices Cheddar cheese
8 plain frozen waffles

Steps:

  • Whisk together the eggs, cream, cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. In a paper bag, shake together the flour, cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon salt.
  • Dip the chicken into the beaten egg mixture, then place into the flour mixture and shake to coat. Place the breaded chicken onto a wire rack; do not stack. Let the chicken rest for 20 minutes to allow the coating to set.
  • Heat about 3 inches of oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In small batches, fry chicken 5 to 8 minutes until golden brown. Remove chicken, and drain on paper towels. Set aside or keep warm in a a low oven.
  • Combine the mayonnaise, maple syrup, horseradish, and mustard powder in a medium bowl. Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • To assemble the sandwiches: Place 4 waffles on a cookie sheet, top each waffle with 2 chicken tenders, 3 slices of bacon, and 2 slices of Cheddar. Broil the sandwich for a 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese melts. Spread 3 tablespoons of the maple mayonnaise on the remaining 4 waffles and place on top of the sandwich.

Provided by Breana Jackson

Time 1h

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 30

4 cups buttermilk, or water
4 tablespoons kosher salt, plus a pinch, divided
8 chicken wings
peanut oil, or grapeseed oil, for frying
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon McCormick® Smoked Paprika
1 tablespoon McCormick® Garlic Powder
1 ½ tablespoons McCormick® ground black pepper
1 tablespoon McCormick® Poultry Seasoning
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon McCormick® Ground Mustard
2 cups all purpose flour
¼ cup cornstarch
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
1 teaspoon hot sauce, of choice
1 ½ sticks unsalted butter
2 ice cubes
2 cups all purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch kosher salt
2 cups buttermilk, room temperature
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon McCormick® vanilla extract
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
unsalted butter
maple syrup
hot sauce

Steps:

  • Brine the chicken: In a large bowl or container, combine the buttermilk and 2 tablespoons of salt. Add the chicken to the brine, making sure to submerge fully. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. When ready to use, remove the chicken wings from the brine and pat dry with paper towels. Transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
  • Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  • Fill a large cast iron skillet ¾ of the way with peanut oil and heat over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C).
  • In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons salt, the onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, poultry seasoning, cayenne, and ground mustard until well combined.
  • Transfer all but 2 tablespoons of the spice mixture to a medium bowl with the flour and cornstarch and whisk until well combined.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, hot sauce, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  • Coat a chicken wing in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then dip in the buttermilk mixture, letting any excess drip off. Coat again in the flour mixture, pressing the flour into the chicken. Return the coated chicken to the wire rack and repeat with the remaining wings.
  • Working with 2-3 wings at a time, fry the chicken in the hot oil until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 160-165°F (70-75°C). Remove the chicken from the oil, sprinkle on both sides with a pinch of the reserved spice mix, then set on a clean wire rack set over a baking sheet to cool. Repeat with the remaining chicken. When finished frying, transfer the chicken to the oven to keep warm until ready to serve.
  • Make the waffles: Melt the butter in a medium nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns dark brown and smells nutty, between 7-10 minutes. Watch carefully and focus on color, so the butter does not burn, aiming from brown not black bits. Remove the pot from the heat.
  • Add an ice cube to the butter and slowly let it melt. It may froth and bubble. Add the remaining ice cube and gently stir until melted. Pour ½ cup of the browned butter into a liquid measuring cup or heatproof bowl and let cool completely, about 5 minutes. Store any remaining browned butter in the refrigerator for another use.
  • Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high heat.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a medium bowl or large liquid measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, browned butter, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Let the batter sit for 5-7 minutes while the leavening agents activate.
  • Grease the waffle iron with nonstick spray, then cook the waffles according to the manufacturer's instructions. You should have about 6 total, depending on the waffle iron. Set the waffles on a baking sheet as they finish cooking and transfer to the oven with the chicken to keep warm until ready to serve.
  • To serve, place a waffle on each plate (either whole or cut into 4 pieces) and set 2-3 wings on top of or next to each waffle. Top the waffles with butter, maple syrup, and/or hot sauce, if desired. Serve hot.
  • Any leftover waffles can be wrapped individually in plastic wrap, then placed in a zip-top bag and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Enjoy!

8 whole chicken wings, about 2 pounds total
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Miss Brown's House Seasoning, recipe follows
Canola oil, for frying
About 1 cup Miss Brown's Maple BBQ Sauce, recipe follows
4 Sweet Potato Waffles, recipe follows
Pickled jalapeno slices, optional
Maple syrup, for serving
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk, at room temperature
3/4 cup mashed sweet potato
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
One 14.5-ounce can tomato sauce
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pour enough oil into a large Dutch oven to come about one-third of the way up the sides (it should be deep enough to cover the wings) and heat to 350 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with a wire rack.
  • Rinse the chicken wings (the water is going to help the flour stick) and place on one of the prepared baking sheets. Season both sides with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place the flour and House Seasoning in a large paper bag and shake to combine. Add the chicken wings, 2 at a time, shaking well to coat. Return the coated wings to the same baking sheet.
  • Fry the wings in batches until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to the other prepared baking sheet.
  • To serve, toss the wings with the Maple BBQ Sauce. Place two wings on each Sweet Potato Waffle. Top with jalapeno slices, if desired, drizzle with maple syrup and serve warm.
  • Preheat a Belgian waffle iron.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, sweet potato, melted butter, sugar, and eggs. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined.
  • Add a heaping cup of waffle batter to the preheated waffle iron and cook until the outsides of the waffle are lightly browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes, depending on your waffle iron. Remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Stir together the tomato sauce, maple syrup, brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and onion powder in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 30 minutes. If the sauce becomes too thick, add up to 1/4 cup water. Season with salt and pepper. Use on poultry, pork, beef or seafood. The sauce will keep, tightly covered in the refrigerator, for up to 2 weeks.
  • Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

SUNNY'S CRAZY RICH CHICKEN AND WAFFLES



Sunny's Crazy Rich Chicken and Waffles image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons hot sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders (or breasts cut into strips), at room temperature
4 tablespoons salted butter
4 tablespoons gold cocoa butter, such as Roxy & Rich
1/2 cup creamed honey
1/4 cup maple syrup
3 tablespoons hot sauce, preferably Frank's RedHot
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Peanut or vegetable oil, for frying
2 to 3 servings Sunny's 1-2-3 Waffles, recipe follows, cut into portions
Edible gold dust or highlight gold dust, for dusting
1 large egg
2 tablespoons whole milk
3 tablespoons self-rising flour
Nonstick cooking spray, for the waffle iron

Steps:

  • For the flour: Add the flour, cornstarch, cayenne, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper to a shallow dish. Mix to distribute ingredients evenly.
  • For the egg wash: Add the eggs, hot sauce, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper to a separate shallow dish. Whisk and add enough water to loosen, but still have enough body to coat something?like chicken!
  • For the chicken: Dunk the tenders in the flour mixture, shake the pieces off, then dip in the egg mixture. Shake off the excess egg mixture and toss the tenders back in the flour mixture to coat. Shake off the excess and rest on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes. (If any areas look like they are soaking up the flour quickly while resting, dust the chicken with some more of the flour mixture.)
  • Add the butter to a nonstick saucepan over medium heat and melt. Add the gold cocoa butter and stir until combined. Add the honey, maple syrup, hot sauce and some black pepper. Stir until combined and remove from the heat.
  • Add enough oil to reach more than 3 inches up the side of a Dutch oven or large heavy pot over medium-high heat and bring to 350 degrees F. Shake off any excess flour from the tenders and gently place them in the oil in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Cook, while maintaining the oil temperature at around 350 degrees F, until the tenders are golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per batch. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle immediately with salt. Place on skewers with portions of Sunny's 1-2-3 Waffles. Drizzle with golden honey sauce and a shake of gold dust.
  • Separate the egg into 2 bowls. Whisk the yolk, then whisk in the milk followed by the flour.
  • Whisk the egg white until soft peaks form. Fold the white into the batter. Spray a waffle iron with cooking spray, then make waffles.

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Marinate the chicken: Generously season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then place in a large zip-top bag. Pour the buttermilk into the bag and seal to close. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Fry the chicken: Heat the canola oil in a large pot until it reaches 350°F (180°C). Set a wire rack over a baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Add the buttermilk, a little bit at a time, and stir with a rubber spatula to incorporate into the dry ingredients. It should be clumpy.
  • Transfer a chicken thigh directly from the marinade to the flour mixture. Evenly coat the chicken all over, pressing to adhere the dry ingredients. Set on the wire rack and repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Working 2 pieces at a time, fry the chicken in the hot oil until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally to make sure the chicken browns evenly. Remove from the oil and let drain on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Season with salt. Keep warm in the oven while you make the waffles.

Provided by Buckwheat Queen

Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Meat and Seafood     Chicken

Time 3h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 26

¾ pound chicken tenders
1 cup buttermilk
¾ cup maple syrup
1 ½ tablespoons butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce, or to taste
1 cup superfine white rice flour
3 eggs
2 cups crushed corn flakes
1 cup bread crumbs
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
9 slices bacon
vegetable oil for frying
2 egg whites
⅛ teaspoon cream of tartar
½ cup brown rice flour
½ cup superfine white rice flour
¼ cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon powdered milk
1 pinch salt
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Put chicken tenders in a zip-top bag and pour in buttermilk. Refrigerate for 2 hours or up to 4 hours. Allow chicken to reach room temperature before cooking.
  • Stir maple syrup, butter, and sriracha sauce together to create the condiment. Set aside.
  • Place 1 cup white rice flour in a bowl. Whisk eggs together in a shallow dish. Mix corn flakes, bread crumbs, Creole seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper together in another shallow dish.
  • Drain chicken and discard buttermilk. Dredge a chicken tender in the bowl of white rice flour, shaking off any excess. Dip into beaten egg. Lift up so excess egg drips back in the bowl. Press into bread crumb mixture to coat both sides. Place the breaded tender onto a plate. Continue process with the remaining chicken tenders. Run the tenders through the egg wash and dredge through the crumb mixture a second time. Tap and allow excess to fall off.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon until slightly crispy and fat is rendered, about 4 minutes per side. Let bacon drain on a wire rack over paper towels. Increase heat to medium-high. Add vegetable oil to the bacon grease and heat to between 350 to 375 degrees F (175 to 190 degrees C).
  • Fry tenders in the hot oil until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Place chicken on the rack with the bacon.
  • Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Whisk egg whites and cream of tartar on medium high speed in the bowl of a stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
  • Sift brown rice flour, 1/2 cup white rice flour, cornstarch, baking powder, powdered milk, and a pinch of salt together in a mixing bowl twice. Make a well in the center. Pour in milk, honey, oil, and vanilla extract while lightly stirring. Do not overmix. Fold in egg whites until just combined; leaving pillows of egg whites will create fluffy pockets in the waffles.
  • Cook batter in the waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions, or until waffle is golden brown and the iron stops steaming, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter to make 6 waffles. This batter will make 7 total; you can freeze the remaining waffle if desired.
  • Heat maple syrup sauce in the microwave for 1 minute. Place waffles on serving plates. Top each with 3 slices of bacon. Divide chicken between the waffles and top with sauce.

  • Place chicken in a large, shallow baking dish. Drizzle with orange juice and season liberally with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until needed. Whisk orange zest with coconut flour, almond flour, garlic, and paprika. Set dredging mixture aside.
  • Mix gluten-free flour, baking powder, rosemary, thyme, and sea salt together in another bowl to start the waffle batter.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions and spray with cooking spray.
  • Beat butter and maple syrup together in a bowl using an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs 1 at a time. Gradually add the gluten-free flour mixture and milk in 3 alternating batches. Stir in Cheddar cheese just until combined. Pour batter into the preheated waffle iron. Cook until crisp and deeply brown, 6 to 8 minutes per waffle. Place waffles on a baking sheet and keep warm in the preheating oven while preparing chicken.
  • Line another baking sheet with parchment paper. Gently shake excess orange juice off each chicken tender and press all sides into the reserved coconut flour mixture. Place coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Remove waffles from oven and keep warm.
  • Bake chicken in the preheated oven, flipping halfway, until browned on both sides, about 20 minutes total. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Microwave syrup until warm, about 1 minute. Top each waffle with a warm chicken tender or two and a handful of blackberries. Drizzle with the warmed spicy maple syrup.

Cheddar Scallion Waffles and Dijon Buttermilk Fried Chicken image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 cups buttermilk
1 cup Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons salt
One 2 1/2- to 4-pound fryer chicken, cut into 8 pieces
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon mustard powder
Canola oil, for frying
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk
3/4 cup shredded yellow Cheddar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 large eggs, separated
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • For the chicken soak mixture: Stir together the buttermilk, Dijon, paprika, cayenne and salt in a large bowl. Add the chicken pieces and submerge them to coat. Allow to sit for at least 30 minutes but ideally as long as possible (up to 2 hours at room temperature or up to 8 hours, refrigerated).
  • For the flour mixture: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F; set a rack in a rimmed baking sheet.

  • Heat 1 1/2 inches of oil in a very large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, shallow-fry the chicken, turning once, until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part (avoid bone) registers 165 degrees F, around 15 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven to finish cooking through, if necessary.
  • For the waffles: Preheat a waffle iron. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, Cheddar, butter, egg yolks and scallions. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix together. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter. Ladle mixture into the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden and cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken with the waffles on the side.

TEX-MEX CHICKEN AND WAFFLES

SRIRACHA CHICKEN AND WAFFLES



Sriracha Chicken and Waffles image

There are few American foods more iconic than chicken and waffles, but the appeal is universal no matter where you come from. Our version uses panko, which is a white breadcrumb that is more jagged (like icicles) than round and makes a super crunchy crust.

Provided by Jet Tila

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 tablespoon sriracha, plus more for serving
3 teaspoons seasoned salt, plus more for sprinkling
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for sprinkling
2 small chicken breasts, about 6 ounces each
Olive oil, for drizzling
Oil, for frying
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg
1 cup minus 2 tablespoons milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Nonstick cooking spray, for the waffle iron
Butter, at room temperature, for serving
Maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • For the sriracha chicken: Stir the buttermilk, sriracha, 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a small baking dish or medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Place a 12-inch-long piece of plastic wrap over a cutting board. Place a chicken breast on the plastic, drizzle with some olive oil and cover with another piece of plastic wrap. Using a mallet, small frying pan or rolling pin, pound the breast until it is about 1/2-inch-thick. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place the pounded breast in the buttermilk brine. Repeat with the remaining breast. Cover the dish or bowl with plastic wrap and soak for 4 hours to overnight.
  • For the light and crispy honey waffles: Preheat a waffle iron to approximately 400 degrees F or its highest setting.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder and salt together. In a small bowl, whisk the egg until golden and fluffy, about 1 minute. Whisk in the milk, oil, honey and vanilla.
  • When the waffle iron is hot, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the ingredients just come together as a batter, about 30 seconds; it's okay to have tiny pockets of flour.
  • Spray the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray. Using a small cup measure, pour in the correct amount of batter onto the waffle iron. Cook until golden brown. If not serving immediately, you can hold the waffles in a 200-degree-F oven on a rack.
  • Meanwhile, pour 3 to 4 inches of frying oil into a heavy medium pot. Heat the oil until it registers 365 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
  • In a separate medium bowl or baking dish, combine the breadcrumbs, flour and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and stir until combined.
  • When ready to fry, remove a chicken breast from the buttermilk but do not shake off the excess buttermilk. Coat the breast in the breadcrumb mixture and press it firmly onto the chicken. Shake off excess. Carefully place the chicken in the oil and repeat with the remaining breast. Fry until cooked though and an instant-read thermometer inserted into a breast registers 160 degrees F, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a wire rack-lined baking sheet to drain.
  • To serve, place the fried chicken on top of the waffles. Serve with softened butter, maple syrup and sriracha.

CHICKEN AND WAFFLES



Chicken and Waffles image

These chicken and waffles were a hit in the kitchen! Soaking the chicken in the buttermilk makes the chicken tender. Paprika and garlic seasoning in the batter is the perfect contrast to the sweet syrup. The waffles fluff up perfectly and are crisp on the outside but soft inside. We really loved the cinnamon butter. It's...
