Steps:
- Whisk together the eggs, cream, cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. In a paper bag, shake together the flour, cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon salt.
- Dip the chicken into the beaten egg mixture, then place into the flour mixture and shake to coat. Place the breaded chicken onto a wire rack; do not stack. Let the chicken rest for 20 minutes to allow the coating to set.
- Heat about 3 inches of oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In small batches, fry chicken 5 to 8 minutes until golden brown. Remove chicken, and drain on paper towels. Set aside or keep warm in a a low oven.
- Combine the mayonnaise, maple syrup, horseradish, and mustard powder in a medium bowl. Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate.
- To assemble the sandwiches: Place 4 waffles on a cookie sheet, top each waffle with 2 chicken tenders, 3 slices of bacon, and 2 slices of Cheddar. Broil the sandwich for a 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese melts. Spread 3 tablespoons of the maple mayonnaise on the remaining 4 waffles and place on top of the sandwich.

Steps:
- Whisk together eggs, 2 cups buttermilk, and butter. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Transfer 1 cup flour mixture to a shallow bowl; fold rest into wet ingredients. Preheat a Belgian-waffle iron; brush with oil. Pour in 1 cup batter; spread, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Cook until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and pepper; dredge in reserved flour mixture. Shake off excess. Dip in remaining 1 cup buttermilk, then again in flour; repeat. Cook in batches until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes a side. Transfer to a plate and serve, with waffles, butter, syrup, and hot sauce.
MAPLE BBQ CHICKEN AND SWEET POTATO WAFFLES
Steps:
- Pour enough oil into a large Dutch oven to come about one-third of the way up the sides (it should be deep enough to cover the wings) and heat to 350 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with a wire rack.
- Rinse the chicken wings (the water is going to help the flour stick) and place on one of the prepared baking sheets. Season both sides with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place the flour and House Seasoning in a large paper bag and shake to combine. Add the chicken wings, 2 at a time, shaking well to coat. Return the coated wings to the same baking sheet.
- Fry the wings in batches until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to the other prepared baking sheet.
- To serve, toss the wings with the Maple BBQ Sauce. Place two wings on each Sweet Potato Waffle. Top with jalapeno slices, if desired, drizzle with maple syrup and serve warm.
- Preheat a Belgian waffle iron.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, sweet potato, melted butter, sugar, and eggs. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined.
- Add a heaping cup of waffle batter to the preheated waffle iron and cook until the outsides of the waffle are lightly browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes, depending on your waffle iron. Remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Stir together the tomato sauce, maple syrup, brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and onion powder in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 30 minutes. If the sauce becomes too thick, add up to 1/4 cup water. Season with salt and pepper. Use on poultry, pork, beef or seafood. The sauce will keep, tightly covered in the refrigerator, for up to 2 weeks.
- Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

Steps:
- Brine the chicken: In a large bowl or container, combine the buttermilk and 2 tablespoons of salt. Add the chicken to the brine, making sure to submerge fully. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. When ready to use, remove the chicken wings from the brine and pat dry with paper towels. Transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Fill a large cast iron skillet ¾ of the way with peanut oil and heat over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons salt, the onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, poultry seasoning, cayenne, and ground mustard until well combined.
- Transfer all but 2 tablespoons of the spice mixture to a medium bowl with the flour and cornstarch and whisk until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, hot sauce, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Coat a chicken wing in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then dip in the buttermilk mixture, letting any excess drip off. Coat again in the flour mixture, pressing the flour into the chicken. Return the coated chicken to the wire rack and repeat with the remaining wings.
- Working with 2-3 wings at a time, fry the chicken in the hot oil until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 160-165°F (70-75°C). Remove the chicken from the oil, sprinkle on both sides with a pinch of the reserved spice mix, then set on a clean wire rack set over a baking sheet to cool. Repeat with the remaining chicken. When finished frying, transfer the chicken to the oven to keep warm until ready to serve.
- Make the waffles: Melt the butter in a medium nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns dark brown and smells nutty, between 7-10 minutes. Watch carefully and focus on color, so the butter does not burn, aiming from brown not black bits. Remove the pot from the heat.
- Add an ice cube to the butter and slowly let it melt. It may froth and bubble. Add the remaining ice cube and gently stir until melted. Pour ½ cup of the browned butter into a liquid measuring cup or heatproof bowl and let cool completely, about 5 minutes. Store any remaining browned butter in the refrigerator for another use.
- Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a medium bowl or large liquid measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, browned butter, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Let the batter sit for 5-7 minutes while the leavening agents activate.
- Grease the waffle iron with nonstick spray, then cook the waffles according to the manufacturer's instructions. You should have about 6 total, depending on the waffle iron. Set the waffles on a baking sheet as they finish cooking and transfer to the oven with the chicken to keep warm until ready to serve.
- To serve, place a waffle on each plate (either whole or cut into 4 pieces) and set 2-3 wings on top of or next to each waffle. Top the waffles with butter, maple syrup, and/or hot sauce, if desired. Serve hot.
- Any leftover waffles can be wrapped individually in plastic wrap, then placed in a zip-top bag and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- For the flour: Add the flour, cornstarch, cayenne, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper to a shallow dish. Mix to distribute ingredients evenly.
- For the egg wash: Add the eggs, hot sauce, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper to a separate shallow dish. Whisk and add enough water to loosen, but still have enough body to coat something?like chicken!
- For the chicken: Dunk the tenders in the flour mixture, shake the pieces off, then dip in the egg mixture. Shake off the excess egg mixture and toss the tenders back in the flour mixture to coat. Shake off the excess and rest on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes. (If any areas look like they are soaking up the flour quickly while resting, dust the chicken with some more of the flour mixture.)
- Add the butter to a nonstick saucepan over medium heat and melt. Add the gold cocoa butter and stir until combined. Add the honey, maple syrup, hot sauce and some black pepper. Stir until combined and remove from the heat.
- Add enough oil to reach more than 3 inches up the side of a Dutch oven or large heavy pot over medium-high heat and bring to 350 degrees F. Shake off any excess flour from the tenders and gently place them in the oil in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Cook, while maintaining the oil temperature at around 350 degrees F, until the tenders are golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per batch. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle immediately with salt. Place on skewers with portions of Sunny's 1-2-3 Waffles. Drizzle with golden honey sauce and a shake of gold dust.
- Separate the egg into 2 bowls. Whisk the yolk, then whisk in the milk followed by the flour.
- Whisk the egg white until soft peaks form. Fold the white into the batter. Spray a waffle iron with cooking spray, then make waffles.

Steps:
- Muddle 4 blackberries in the bottom of a microwave-safe glass serving jar. Add chile powder and red pepper flakes, then maple syrup; stir syrup briskly until well combined.
- Place chicken in a large, shallow baking dish. Drizzle with orange juice and season liberally with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until needed. Whisk orange zest with coconut flour, almond flour, garlic, and paprika. Set dredging mixture aside.
- Mix gluten-free flour, baking powder, rosemary, thyme, and sea salt together in another bowl to start the waffle batter.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions and spray with cooking spray.
- Beat butter and maple syrup together in a bowl using an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs 1 at a time. Gradually add the gluten-free flour mixture and milk in 3 alternating batches. Stir in Cheddar cheese just until combined. Pour batter into the preheated waffle iron. Cook until crisp and deeply brown, 6 to 8 minutes per waffle.

Steps:
- Put chicken tenders in a zip-top bag and pour in buttermilk. Refrigerate for 2 hours or up to 4 hours. Allow chicken to reach room temperature before cooking.
- Stir maple syrup, butter, and sriracha sauce together to create the condiment. Set aside.
- Place 1 cup white rice flour in a bowl. Whisk eggs together in a shallow dish. Mix corn flakes, bread crumbs, Creole seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper together in another shallow dish.
- Drain chicken and discard buttermilk. Dredge a chicken tender in the bowl of white rice flour, shaking off any excess. Dip into beaten egg. Lift up so excess egg drips back in the bowl. Press into bread crumb mixture to coat both sides. Place the breaded tender onto a plate. Continue process with the remaining chicken tenders. Run the tenders through the egg wash and dredge through the crumb mixture a second time. Tap and allow excess to fall off.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon until slightly crispy and fat is rendered, about 4 minutes per side. Let bacon drain on a wire rack over paper towels. Increase heat to medium-high. Add vegetable oil to the bacon grease and heat to between 350 to 375 degrees F (175 to 190 degrees C).
- Fry tenders in the hot oil until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Place chicken on the rack with the bacon.
- Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
- Whisk egg whites and cream of tartar on medium high speed in the bowl of a stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Sift brown rice flour, 1/2 cup white rice flour, cornstarch, baking powder, powdered milk, and a pinch of salt together in a mixing bowl twice. Make a well in the center. Pour in milk, honey, oil, and vanilla extract while lightly stirring. Do not overmix. Fold in egg whites until just combined; leaving pillows of egg whites will create fluffy pockets in the waffles.
- Cook batter in the waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions, or until waffle is golden brown and the iron stops steaming, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter to make 6 waffles. This batter will make 7 total; you can freeze the remaining waffle if desired.
- Heat maple syrup sauce in the microwave for 1 minute. Place waffles on serving plates. Top each with 3 slices of bacon. Divide chicken between the waffles and top with sauce.

SRIRACHA CHICKEN AND WAFFLES
There are few American foods more iconic than chicken and waffles, but the appeal is universal no matter where you come from. Our version uses panko, which is a white breadcrumb that is more jagged (like icicles) than round and makes a super crunchy crust.

Steps:
- For the sriracha chicken: Stir the buttermilk, sriracha, 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a small baking dish or medium bowl. Set aside.
- Place a 12-inch-long piece of plastic wrap over a cutting board. Place a chicken breast on the plastic, drizzle with some olive oil and cover with another piece of plastic wrap. Using a mallet, small frying pan or rolling pin, pound the breast until it is about 1/2-inch-thick. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the pounded breast in the buttermilk brine. Repeat with the remaining breast. Cover the dish or bowl with plastic wrap and soak for 4 hours to overnight.
- For the light and crispy honey waffles: Preheat a waffle iron to approximately 400 degrees F or its highest setting.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder and salt together. In a small bowl, whisk the egg until golden and fluffy, about 1 minute. Whisk in the milk, oil, honey and vanilla.
- When the waffle iron is hot, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the ingredients just come together as a batter, about 30 seconds; it's okay to have tiny pockets of flour.
- Spray the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray. Using a small cup measure, pour in the correct amount of batter onto the waffle iron. Cook until golden brown. If not serving immediately, you can hold the waffles in a 200-degree-F oven on a rack.
- Meanwhile, pour 3 to 4 inches of frying oil into a heavy medium pot. Heat the oil until it registers 365 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
- In a separate medium bowl or baking dish, combine the breadcrumbs, flour and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and stir until combined.
- When ready to fry, remove a chicken breast from the buttermilk but do not shake off the excess buttermilk. Coat the breast in the breadcrumb mixture and press it firmly onto the chicken. Shake off excess. Carefully place the chicken in the oil and repeat with the remaining breast. Fry until cooked though and an instant-read thermometer inserted into a breast registers 160 degrees F, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a wire rack-lined baking sheet to drain.
- To serve, place the fried chicken on top of the waffles. Serve with softened butter, maple syrup and sriracha.
CHICKEN AND POTATO WAFFLES
A great spin on traditional chicken and waffles recipe. We loved the savory potato waffles. They are unique and delicious! The brine really tenderizes and adds great flavor to the fried chicken.

CHICKEN AND WAFFLES
Steps:
- Sift together the flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, mustard, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs. Combine the wet ingredients, dry ingredients, and thyme to form waffle batter.
- Ladle the batter into the waffle iron, following the manufacturer's instructions. While the waffle iron is closed, trim any overflow with the back of a knife. Cook until golden.
- Serve waffles hot, topped with hot Roasted Chicken and a generous amount of hot Dijon Cream Sauce.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat a large ovenproof skillet over high heat. Meanwhile, rub the chicken breasts with the clarified butter, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Turn the breasts over and cook for another minute. Flip the chicken back onto the skin side and place the skillet directly in the oven. Roast for 10 to 12 minutes or until the juices run clear (see Cook's Note*). Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for several minutes before slicing (see Cook's Note**).
- Diagonally slice each chicken breast into 3 pieces.
- In a stainless-steel saucepan, combine the cream and thyme. Cook over medium-high heat until reduced by one half. Remove from the heat and whisk in both Dijon mustards and salt. Serve warm.
- The sauce can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for several days. Reheat over gentle heat while stirring constantly.

Steps:
- Chicken Directions: Whisk buttermilk and egg whites in a shallow glass dish until well blended. Add chicken and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Set a wire rack on the baking sheet and coat it with cooking spray. Whisk flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and red pepper in a small bowl. Place the flour mixture in a paper bag or large sealable plastic bag. Place one piece of chicken in the bag and toss to coat. Shake off excess flour and place the chicken on the prepared rack. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts. Discard any leftover flour mixture and buttermilk marinade. Lightly coat chicken with cooking spray. Bake at 425°F for 30 minutes; turn the pan and bake 20 minutes longer, or until chicken is brown and crispy. Servings: 4 Prep Time: 45 minutes (including marinating time) Cook Time: 50 minutes Total Time: 1 hour 35 minutes Waffle Directions: Preheat the waffle iron to medium-high heat. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

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.
Tips:
- For crispy waffles, make sure your waffle iron is hot and greased before adding the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this will result in tough waffles.
- Use buttermilk in the batter for a light and fluffy texture.
- For extra crispy chicken, double-coat it in the flour mixture and fry it until golden brown.
- Serve the chicken and waffles with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, and hot sauce.
