Steps:
- Muddle 4 blackberries in the bottom of a microwave-safe glass serving jar. Add chile powder and red pepper flakes, then maple syrup; stir syrup briskly until well combined.
- 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.

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.

CHEDDAR CHICKEN AND WAFFLES WITH WHITE BBQ SAUCE AND HOT MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:
- For the white BBQ sauce: Whisk together the mayonnaise, cider vinegar, horseradish, hot sauce, mustard and cayenne in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- For the hot maple syrup: Whisk together the maple syrup and hot sauce in a medium bowl and set aside.
- For the chicken tenders: Make the dredging station by preparing 3 medium bowls or pie plates. In one bowl, put the flour, salt and pepper. In the second, whisk the eggs with 2 tablespoons water. Put the Cheddar crackers in a resealable zip-top bag and lightly pound with a rolling pin until finely crushed like breadcrumbs (alternately, you can use a food processor). Put the cracker crumbs and Parmesan in the third bowl. Dip the chicken tenders in the flour, then the eggs and finally into the cracker mix. Repeat for all the chicken. Set aside on a plate or baking sheet until ready to fry.
- In a large saucepan, heat about 1 inch of neutral oil over medium heat. Working in two batches, fry the chicken until golden on the outside and cooked through, turning once, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Set aside on a sheet tray lined with a wire rack.
- For the waffles: Preheat the waffle iron. Put the egg whites and sugar in the clean, dry bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and whisk on high speed until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and stir together. Whisk together the milk, egg yolks and 4 tablespoons neutral oil in a liquid measuring cup. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold together with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until just combined. Fold the whipped egg whites into the waffle batter until just combined, being careful not to knock out any air.
- If necessary, grease the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Cook the waffles until golden and the inside is set, 4 to 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- To serve, place two triangles or squares of waffles on each plate and top with syrup. Toss the chicken tenders in the white BBQ sauce. Place 2 to 3 dressed tenders atop each plate of waffles, garnish with cilantro and enjoy!
Tips:
- To make gluten-free flour, blend oats in a food processor until a fine powder forms.
- For a crispier waffle, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- To make sure the waffles are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the waffles are done.
- Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, or fried chicken.
Conclusion:
This recipe for Spicy Gluten-Free Chicken and Cheddar Waffles with Blackberry Maple Syrup is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion. The waffles are crispy and flavorful, the chicken is tender and juicy, and the blackberry maple syrup is the perfect finishing touch. Whether you are serving these waffles for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, they are sure to be a hit.
