Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Waffles

[BBQ Bacon]

I have seen way too many people making chicken and waffles and I was feeling left out. So we got some boneless, skinless chicken thighs marinating in buttermilk, cayenne, paprika, hot sauce, garlic and onion powder and black pepper.

The dredge was pancake batter, S&P, cayenne, garlic and onion powder, and a few tablespoons of the marinade.

Let it sit for a few minutes as the oil come up to temp on the gasser.

While the chicken was frying, the waffles were being made and thrown onto the warming rack in the grill to stay hot.

Then it was time to assemble.

The topping was Frank's Redhot Wing sauce and maple syrup.

They could have been more crispy (maybe the oil wasn't hot enough) but this combination was soooo good. Can't wait to do it again.

Dusting the chicken with baking soda before dredging will make the crust adhere better.

P.S. minus the waffles, and cooked over wood or charcoal, did you know that is an allowable chicken entry in KCBS?

Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely try the baking soda next time. I will be trying this over wood fire at some point I'm sure.

I use corn starch as the dust on battered food. Also arrowroot
or most any starchy powder will work also.

Something magical about chicken and waffles and that does look magical.

I may have made a mistake on baking soda idea, baking soda is used with egg white to "velvet" proteins for stir frying.
There is a toss up between baking powder and corn starch use for sticking batter to proteins better.
Oops.
