Steps:
- For the brine: Stir the seasoning salt into the buttermilk in a large bowl or baking dish. Add the chicken, cover with plastic wrap and let sit in the fridge for 15 minutes.
- For the waffles: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Combine the milk, eggs and 1/3 cup melted butter in a blender and blend until frothy. Pour the egg mixture into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and nutmeg. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the egg mixture. Stir in the pecans.

PECAN CRUSTED CHICKEN
This chicken is nice and crunchy with just a tiny little bite from the cayenne. Enjoy it alone, topped with honey-mustard dressing or atop a salad (See Recipe #145067). Cooking time includes the 20-30 minutes chicken dries between breading and cooking. This recipe is from Cuisine at Home magazine.

Steps:
- Prepare chicken breasts into cutlets, cutting into thirds and gently pounding to an even thickness of 1/2 inch (easier and cleaner if done between two layers of plastic wrap).
- Blend egg whites, cornstarch, and lemon juice with a fork in a wide, shallow dish; set aside.
- Combine bread crumbs, parsley, salt, pepper, zest, pecans, and seasonings in another wide shallow dish.
- Crust chicken breasts by dipping both sides of prepared chicken into egg white mixture. Then applying crumbs to both sides, patting them on as much as possible. Transfer to a cookie rack to air-dry on both sides for 20-30 minutes. (This will set crust so it will stay on chicken and crisp up nicely).
- Sauté chicken in oil in a large, nonstick, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp on bottom. Turn carefully with a spatula and transfer the skillet to the oven to finish cooking. This should take about 8 more minutes. Don't overcook, you don't want it to dry out.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are the best choice for this recipe, as they are easy to cook and will hold up well in the waffle sandwich. If you prefer, you can also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Make sure the chicken is cooked through. To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit before you remove it from the heat.
- Use a good quality waffle mix. The waffle mix that you use will make a big difference in the final product. Look for a mix that is made with high-quality ingredients and that has a good flavor. You can also use your favorite homemade waffle recipe.
- Don't overmix the waffle batter. Overmixing the waffle batter will make the waffles tough. Be sure to mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Cook the waffles according to the manufacturer's instructions. Each waffle maker is different, so be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for cooking the waffles. This will ensure that the waffles are cooked evenly and that they have a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
- Assemble the waffle sandwiches while the waffles are still warm. This will help the cheese to melt and the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Pecan-crusted chicken waffle sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a crispy pecan crust, tender chicken, and gooey cheese, these sandwiches are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a unique and flavorful meal, give pecan-crusted chicken waffle sandwiches a try.
