Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups of buttermilk
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of paprika
- 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper

- 2 cups of waffle mix
- 1 3/4 cups of water

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts and buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
- Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour mixture, coating evenly.
- In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the waffle mix according to package instructions, using the water and melted butter. Cook the waffles according to the waffle maker instructions until golden and crisp.
- Serve the fried chicken on top of the waffles and drizzle with maple syrup. Enjoy hot.
Chicken and waffles is a beloved dish with a rich history. Originating in the 1930s in Harlem, New York, it was a popular late-night meal for jazz musicians and patrons. The combination of crispy fried chicken and fluffy waffles drizzled with syrup created a perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors. Today, this iconic dish can be found in soul food restaurants across the United States, with variations in the South and Midwest. Chefs like Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles in Los Angeles have elevated the dish to legendary status. The key to a perfect chicken and waffles lies in the crispy, well-seasoned chicken and light, airy waffles. Whether it's traditional buttermilk fried chicken or a spicy twist, the dish continues to be a favorite comfort food.
