FRIED CHICKEN AND WAFFLES

Categories     main-dish

Time 9h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon lemon zest (from 1 large lemon)
1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
2 pounds bone-in chicken breasts (about 4 small breasts)
4 cups vegetable oil
1/3 cup instant flour, such as Wondra
1/4 cup finely ground cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 cups waffle mix, such as Krusteaz
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Nonstick cooking spray
Maple syrup, to serve
Butter, to serve

Steps:

  • For the chicken: In a small bowl, mix together 1 3/4 teaspoons salt, zest and paprika. Sprinkle the breasts evenly with the mixture on all sides, rubbing the mixture into the chicken gently. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Poke a few holes in the top so that air can circulate around the chicken. Refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  • Heat a 10-inch, straight-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the oil so it comes 1 inch up the side. Heat the oil until it reaches 325 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
  • In a shallow bowl or pie plate, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, remaining salt and the black pepper. Dredge each breast in the dry mixture, making sure each piece is covered well with the mixture. Place each piece of chicken in the hot oil, letting it fall away from you, as to not splash yourself with hot oil. Fry the chicken for 10 minutes on the first side. Gently flip each piece of chicken and continue cooking on the other side until golden brown and cooked through, about 10 more minutes. Remove the chicken from the oil and allow it to drain for 5 minutes on a paper-towel-lined plate.
  • For the waffles: Preheat a standard waffle iron. With a whisk, mix together the waffle mix, 1 1/2 cups water, the vegetable oil and cinnamon until smooth. Lightly spray the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Ladle approximately 3/4 cup of the batter into the iron and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the waffle to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
  • Serve the chicken and waffles hot, with maple syrup and butter.

  • 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!

THE CRISPIEST FRIED CHICKEN RECIPE BY TASTY



The Crispiest Fried Chicken Recipe by Tasty image

We tested dozens of different methods to fried chicken and we finally found what we think is the crispiest and juiciest version. The first step is to dry brine the chicken, which is a fancy way of saying to season it overnight. This process actually helps the meat retain its moisture while frying, making it extra juicy. The next step is the double-dredge method where you dip the chicken in seasoned flour, then in buttermilk, then back in the flour before frying to get those extra crackly bits. Let us know what you think!

Provided by Tiffany Lo

Categories     Dinner

Time 5h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons lemon zest, about 1 lemon
8 bones in chicken pieces, (4 drumsticks and 4 thighs)
6 cups canola oil, for frying
2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 cup buttermilk
2 large egg whites
2 tablespoons vodka

Steps:

  • Dry brine the chicken: In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and lemon zest.
  • Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel and season with the salt mixture, evenly coating each piece.
  • Line a large resealable container with paper towels and add the seasoned chicken. Refrigerate uncovered for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  • 30 minutes before frying, remove the chicken from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature.
  • Add the canola oil to a large Dutch oven and heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C). Place a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet and set nearby.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg whites, and vodka.
  • Working with one piece at a time, coat the dry-brined chicken in the flour mixture, then in the buttermilk mixture, then again in the flour, shaking off any excess.
  • Add 2-3 pieces of chicken to the hot oil and fry for 7-10 minutes, flipping once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the exterior is golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil, transfer to the wire rack, and season with salt. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet for the best crispy fried chicken.
  • Make sure the chicken is completely dry before frying to prevent splattering.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • For the waffles, use buttermilk for a light and fluffy batter.
  • Cook the waffles in a hot waffle iron until golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the fried chicken and waffles with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or hot sauce.
