Ingredients

Fried Chicken:

• 2-3 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1.5 tbsp garlic powder
• 1.5 tbsp paprika
• 3 tsp cayenne
• 2 tbsp salt
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1.5 cups buttermilk
• 8 cups vegetable oil (for frying)

Cheddar Chive Waffles:

Instructions:

1. Prepare Chicken: Salt the chicken and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, and salt.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Beat the egg in a separate bowl, add buttermilk, and mix well.
4. Dredge Chicken: Coat the chicken in the flour mixture, then place on a rack. Add 4 tbsp of the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture to create chunks. Coat the chicken in the buttermilk mixture, then pat the chunky flour mixture onto the chicken.
5. Chill Chicken: Refrigerate the coated chicken for at least 30 minutes, up to 12 hours.
6. Prepare Waffles: Make the waffle batter according to box instructions, adding cheddar and chives. Cook waffles in a waffle maker and keep warm in the oven.
7. Heat Oil: Heat oil in a fryer to 350°F.
8. Fry Chicken: Fry chicken pieces until golden brown, about 5-8 minutes, turning frequently. Drain on a wire rack over paper towels. Keep oil at 350°F while frying.
9. Serve: Sprinkle salt on the fried chicken. Serve hot with warm waffles, maple syrup, and additional chives for garnish.

Though it’s savory, a drizzle of maple syrup on top adds a nice sweet contrast to the dish.
