Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 33

8 whole chicken wings, about 2 pounds total
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Miss Brown's House Seasoning, recipe follows
Canola oil, for frying
About 1 cup Miss Brown's Maple BBQ Sauce, recipe follows
4 Sweet Potato Waffles, recipe follows
Pickled jalapeno slices, optional
Maple syrup, for serving
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk, at room temperature
3/4 cup mashed sweet potato
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
One 14.5-ounce can tomato sauce
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

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.

Provided by Crystal Hatch

Categories     Breakfast

Yield 5 waffles

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups whole wheat
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup milk
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups mashed sweet potato
oil, of choice, for greasing
1 cup cranberry sauce
¼ cup orange juice
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 pink lady apple
¼ cup water
½ cup raw pecans, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Make the waffles: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined, making sure not to overmix the batter.
  • Heat a waffle iron and grease with oil.
