Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Meat and Seafood     Chicken

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.

CHICKEN AND WAFFLES

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

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.

FRIED CHICKEN AND WAFFLES



Fried Chicken and Waffles image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

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.

When you want to impress dinner guests in the most delicious way, try this hot chicken waffle sandwich! The waffle is tender and slightly sweet, which balances the spiciness from the chicken perfectly. The chicken is insanely crunchy on the outside with a slightly sticky, spicy glaze. The hot chicken and cold crunch of the slaw is perfect.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 (5 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons hot sauce
2 cups oil for frying, or as needed
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons paprika, divided
2 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
¼ cup cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 cup coleslaw
1 ½ cups Belgian waffle mix (such as Krusteaz®)
⅔ cup water
1 large egg
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Begin preparing chicken: place chicken thighs in a medium bowl. Add buttermilk and hot sauce and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
  • Prepare waffles: combine waffle mix, water, egg, and oil in a medium bowl; whisk until well combined.
  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Preheat a mini waffle maker according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Spray waffle maker with cooking spray. Cook waffles one at a time until golden brown. Place cooked waffles on a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm.
  • Finish preparing chicken: heat 3 inches of oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) in a deep cast iron skillet or Dutch oven.
  • While oil heats, combine flour, 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a shallow dish.
  • Remove chicken thighs from the buttermilk mixture one at a time and allow excess to drip off. Coat chicken lightly in flour mixture and shake off any excess. Repeat the process once more, dipping chicken back in the buttermilk mixture and flour mixture, and shaking off any excess. Place chicken on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat to coat remaining chicken.
  • Fry 2 chicken thighs at a time in the hot oil until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 170 degrees F (77 degrees F), turning 2 to 3 times, about 8 minutes per batch. Drain chicken on a clean wire rack set inside a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
  • Combine remaining paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper with cayenne pepper and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Carefully whisk in 1 cup of the hot frying oil. Brush each fried chicken thigh with the spicy oil mixture.
  • Stir maple syrup into the remaining spice mixture.
  • Place 1 piece of chicken on a waffle and top with 1/4 cup coleslaw. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons of the spicy maple mixture and place a second waffle on top. Repeat with remaining ingredients and serve immediately.

Provided by Matt Ciampa

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup buttermilk, (or 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice)
6 cups canola oil, for frying
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
½ cup buttermilk, (or ½ cup milk + 1½ teaspoons lemon juice)
1 cup all purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs
¾ cup buttermilk, (or ¾ cup milk + 2 teaspoons lemon juice)
1 cup sourdough bread, https://tasty.co/recipe/sourdough-startersourdough starter discard
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
maple syrup, for drizzling
hot sauce, optional

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.
  • Make the waffles: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, sourdough discard, and melted butter. Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until fully combined.
  • Add ½ cup (55 G) of waffle batter to the center of the preheated waffle iron. Cook until the waffle is golden brown and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Transfer waffle to plate, spread 1 tablespoon of butter on top, then repeat with the remaining batter.
  • To serve, add 1 waffle to each plate. Top with a piece of chicken and drizzle with maple syrup and hot sauce, if using.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use buttermilk or yogurt to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. This will help tenderize the chicken and make it more flavorful.
  • Make sure the chicken is completely dry before frying. This will help prevent the oil from splattering.
  • Use a light oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil or canola oil, for frying.
  • Fry the chicken over medium-high heat until it is golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 8-10 minutes per side.
  • Serve the chicken and waffles with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or hot sauce.

Conclusion:

Fried chicken and waffles is a classic Southern dish that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy meal, give fried chicken and waffles a try.
