CHICKEN AND WAFFLES

Categories     main-dish

Time 10h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

8 boneless, skin-on chicken thighs
2 cups buttermilk
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more if needed
1 tablespoon seasoned salt, such as Lawry's
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, plus more if needed
1/4 cup milk, plus more if needed
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 large egg whites plus 2 large egg yolks
8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter, melted
1 to 2 jalapenos, chopped
1 cup pancake syrup
1/4 cup bourbon
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) salted butter
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Special equipment: a deep-fry thermometer
  • For the fried chicken: Thoroughly rinse the chicken, then cover all the pieces with 1 3/4 cups of buttermilk. Soak in the fridge overnight or up to 24 hours.
  • When you're ready to fry the chicken, remove the bowl from the fridge and let it sit on the counter for 30 minutes to take off the chill.
  • In the meantime, preheat the oven to 360 degrees F and mix the breading. Put the flour, seasoned salt, paprika, pepper, thyme and cayenne (extra cayenne if you like heat) in a very large bowl and stir together well.
  • In a small bowl, combine the milk and remaining 1/4 cup buttermilk. Pour into the flour mixture and, with a fork, gradually mix until there are little lumps throughout. This will adhere to the chicken and make for a crispier breading. If necessary, add a little more flour or milk to the bowl in order to make it slightly lumpy.
  • Heat 1 1/2 to 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 365 degrees F. Lower the heat slightly, if necessary, to keep the oil from getting hotter.
  • Working in batches, thoroughly coat each chicken piece with the breading, pressing extra breading onto the chicken if necessary. Place the breaded pieces on a plate.
  • Add the chicken to the oil 3 or 4 pieces at a time. Make sure they aren't sticking together, then cover the skillet and fry for 5 to 7 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure the chicken isn't getting too brown. Turn the pieces over, cover again and cook 3 to 5 minutes more. All the while, monitor the temperature of the oil to make sure the chicken doesn't burn. Transfer the fried chicken pieces to a baking sheet (they will not be completely cooked through) and continue frying the rest of the chicken.
  • Bake the thighs for 15 minutes to finish the cooking process. Sometimes I'll cut into the thicker part of one of the larger pieces, just to make sure the chicken is cooked through. (If any pink juice or meat is visible, the chicken needs to continue cooking in the oven.) Cover and keep warm.
  • For the waffles: Preheat the waffle iron to the regular setting. Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla and 2 egg yolks. Pour over the dry ingredients and very gently stir until halfway combined. Pour in the melted butter and chopped jalapenos and continue mixing very gently until combined.
  • In a separate bowl (or using a mixer), beat the 4 egg whites with a whisk until stiff. Slowly fold them into the batter, stopping short of mixing them all the way through.
  • Scoop the batter into your waffle iron in batches and cook according to the manufacturer's directions (lean toward being a little deep golden and crisp!). Keep warm.
  • For the sauce: Pour the pancake syrup and bourbon in a small pot and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat and whisk in the butter 1 tablespoon at a time, then the cayenne.
  • To serve: Place 2 chicken thighs on top of a waffle. Pour the warm sauce over everything and serve immediately.

CHICKEN AND WAFFLES



Chicken and Waffles image

Crispy-crunchy on the outside, our fried chicken gets its moist, tender insides from a buttermilk brine with hints of paprika, hot sauce and cayenne.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h10m

Yield About 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 cup buttermilk
4 to 5 dashes hot sauce
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 to 3 sprigs fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/4 pounds chicken tenders
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon fine salt
1 1/2 cups milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for brushing the waffle iron
4 tablespoons vegetable shortening, melted
2 large eggs
Soft unsalted butter, honey and hot sauce, for serving
Soft unsalted butter, honey and hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • For the fried chicken: Whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce, garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken, making sure that all the pieces are fully submerged. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or seal the bag and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
  • Mix together the flour, baking powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in another large resealable plastic bag. Set aside.
  • For the waffles: Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (to keep cooked waffles warm). Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the milk, butter, shortening and eggs in another bowl. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and gently stir until just incorporated (it's okay if there are some lumps).
  • Lightly brush the top and bottom of the waffle iron with butter. Fill the waffle iron about three-quarters of the way full (there should still be some waffle iron showing). Close the lid gently and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, 6 to 7 minutes. Keep the cooked waffles warm in the oven or covered with foil on a plate while you make the remaining waffles.
  • For frying the chicken: Fill a wide, deep pot with 2 1/2 to 3 inches of oil and heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. As the oil heats, remove half the chicken from the buttermilk brine, letting any excess brine drip back into the bowl. Place into the bag of seasoned flour and seal. Shake the bag to thoroughly coat the chicken pieces. Remove the chicken, shaking off any excess flour, and transfer to a wire rack.
  • Working in batches, carefully add the coated chicken to the hot oil. The oil temperature will drop to between 300 and 325 degrees F; adjust the heat to maintain this temperature (it's important not to let the oil get too hot or the crust will brown before the meat is cooked through). Fry the chicken, undisturbed, for about 1 minute to allow the crust to set; then begin to check the chicken pieces to make sure they are browning evenly and carefully turn as needed so that the pieces are evenly golden brown and cooked through and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a clean rack to drain; season with salt. Flour and fry the remaining chicken.
  • Spread each waffle with softened butter and top with 1 to 2 pieces of chicken. Drizzle generously with honey and a few dashes of hot sauce and serve.

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!

Tips:

  • To achieve a crispy and flavorful crust on the chicken, ensure that the chicken is coated evenly in the breading mixture before pan-frying.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the chicken from sticking during the cooking process.
  • Maintain the oil temperature at a medium-high heat to ensure the chicken cooks evenly and does not burn.
  • Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute before serving.
  • For the waffles, preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure they cook evenly.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the waffle batter to avoid over-mixing, which can result in tough waffles.
  • Let the waffles cool slightly before serving to make them easier to handle and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • For the peanut-cilantro sauce, use fresh cilantro for the best flavor and adjust the amount of red pepper flakes based on your desired level of spiciness.
  • Serve the chicken and waffles immediately with the peanut-cilantro sauce for the best experience, as the waffles are at their peak crispiness when freshly made.

Conclusion:

The combination of crispy chicken, fluffy waffles, and flavorful peanut-cilantro sauce makes this dish a delightful and satisfying meal. With a few simple tips and techniques, you can easily prepare this dish at home. Enjoy this delicious and unique take on a classic breakfast or brunch dish!
