Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour, such as Bob's Red Mill
1 cup coarse ground cornmeal
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/3 cup (5 1/3 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
3 large eggs
Nonstick cooking spray
Two 4-pound roasted chickens (good-quality rotisserie or home-cooked are both fine)
About 1 cup your favorite sweet-and-spicy BBQ sauce
Pinch of salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
3/4 cup bourbon whiskey
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups 1/4-inch sliced seasonal fruit, such as berries and/or apples (see Cook's Note)
8 ounces goat cheese
1/2 cup toasted pecans

Steps:

  • For the waffles: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Sift together the flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, melted butter (can be melted quickly in the microwave), and then the eggs. Gradually whisk the wet ingredients into the dry until the batter is just mixed and not clumpy.
  • Heat a waffle iron to medium heat, spray the iron well with nonstick cooking spray and add 6 ounces of batter. Cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer the cooked waffles to the oven to keep warm until ready to serve. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • For the chicken: Remove all the meat from the bones of the chickens. In a large saute pan or skillet, toss the pulled chicken in enough of BBQ sauce to coat. Add 1/3 cup water, a pinch of salt and simmer over medium heat until the chicken is warmed through.
  • For the bourbon butter: Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the brown sugar to form a thick paste. Gradually pour in the bourbon, whisking vigorously, and then remove from the heat. Stir in the vanilla and allow to cool to room temperature. If not using immediately, pour into a jar with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate up to 2 weeks; bring to room temperature before using.
  • In a medium saute pan, coat the fruit with enough bourbon butter to cover. Simmer over low heat until the fruit starts to sizzle and release sugars. You can also put the pan in a hot oven for 5 to 10 minutes until the same reaction occurs.
  • To serve, quarter the waffles and shingle them along the side of a plate. Place the BBQ pulled chicken in the center of the plate and spoon the bourbon-glazed fruit over both. Top with some toasted pecans and small pieces of goat cheese, for garnish, if desired.

I'm not a fan of waffles, but I loved the chicken and the bourbon butter glazed fruit. I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll use pancakes instead of waffles.

Not bad, but not great either. The chicken was a bit bland and the waffles were a bit too dense. The bourbon butter glazed fruit was the best part of the dish.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was dry and overcooked, the waffles were tough and chewy, and the bourbon butter glazed fruit was just a sticky mess. I do not recommend this recipe.

Followed the recipe to a T and the results were amazing! The chicken was perfectly cooked and the waffles were fluffy and golden brown. The bourbon butter glazed fruit was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall a great dish.
