Chicken & Waffles (Part 1)
Are Chicken & Waffles breakfast, brunch, lunch, linner, dinner, or dinfast? 😂
Yes I used frozen waffles because I need to get them out of my freezer 😅
The chicken was marinated overnight in buttermilk with minced garlic & onion, red chilis, fresh oregano & thyme, salt, pepper, paprika, & chili powder.
I cut the breast down to "slider size" but didn't consider the breading adding to that size and they ended up a little too big for a single piece so I just doubled up...it's somewhere between a slider and a half sandwich 🤣
Anyway...remove the chicken from the marinade and coat with SPPOG seasoned flour, use some of the leftover marinade to mix into more flour until it's flakey. Egg, dredge, & set aside on a rack to dry while you cook some bacon with cracked pepper.
I also whipped up some quick hot honey using equal parts hot sauce and honey. The sauce in the pic I got as a gift, it's pretty tasty but I think it would work better for a hot bacon jam.
Once the bacon and honey are ready, fry the chicken, toast waffles, then assemble. Top with jalapeño, fresno chili, shallots, & enjoy whatever time of day or night meal this is 😂
