  • 2. Cinnamon Vanilla Butter: Add ingredients to a small bowl.
  • 3. Whip with fork until well incorporated.
  • 4. Waffle batter: Mix all dry ingredients.
  • 5. Add wet ingredients and mix until well incorporated but do not over mix; a few lumps are OK. Set batter aside.

  • 8. Heat frying oil over medium heat.
  • 9. Carefully place each strip into the hot oil and fry on each side until chicken is cooked and outside is golden brown.
  • 10. Once chicken is thoroughly cooked, remove from oil and place on paper towels to remove excess oil.
