1

Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of hot sauce, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Add 4 chicken breasts and coat them thoroughly in the marinade. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight if you want an extra kick of flavor.

2

Prepare the Waffle Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups of milk, 2 eggs, and 1/4 cup of melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate.

3

Fry the Chicken

Heat a large frying pan with 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the chicken in the hot oil and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

4

Cook the Waffles

Preheat your waffle iron according to its instructions. Pour the waffle batter onto the iron, using the recommended amount for your specific waffle iron. Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining batter.

5

Serve and Enjoy!

Place a crispy waffle on a plate, top it with a piece of spicy fried chicken, and drizzle with maple syrup or a honey hot sauce glaze for an extra spicy kick. Garnish with some chopped green onions or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you're feeling brave. Now, dive in and enjoy the fiery deliciousness of your new favorite dish!
