Chicken & Waffles present a unique blend of sweet and savory, crunchy and soft textures. The salty, crispy fried chicken contrasts beautifully with the sweet, fluffy waffle, enhanced by a generous drizzle of syrup.
The fried chicken is typically seasoned with a blend of herbs and spices, often including paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. The waffle is a standard waffle recipe, sometimes incorporating buttermilk for added tang. Maple syrup is the traditional topping, though other sweet sauces like honey or fruit compotes are also popular. The interplay of the crispy, savory chicken, the soft, sweet waffle, and the rich syrup creates a complex and satisfying flavor profile.

Crispy Chicken is Key
Ensure the chicken is thoroughly dried and coated in a well-seasoned breading mixture. Fry at the correct temperature to achieve a golden-brown, crispy exterior while keeping the inside moist.
Waffle Perfection
Don't overmix the waffle batter. A slightly lumpy batter will result in a lighter, fluffier waffle. Use a hot waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Syrup Selection
High-quality maple syrup is the classic choice, but experiment with other flavors like bourbon maple syrup, hot honey, or fruit-infused syrups to add a unique twist.
Don't forget the salt
Seasoning is key! From the brine, to the breading, to topping the waffles with a pinch of sea salt, it's an important flavor contrast
