Handle the hot oil with caution, as it can cause burns. Make sure to cook the chicken thoroughly to avoid any foodborne illnesses.

1

Prepare the chicken

Start by marinating boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a mixture of buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Let the chicken soak in the marinade for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.

2

Coat the chicken

In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge each piece of marinated chicken in the flour mixture, making sure to coat it thoroughly.

3

Fry the chicken

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the oil and let it drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

4

Make the waffles

While the chicken is frying, prepare your favorite waffle batter and cook the waffles according to the instructions. Aim for golden brown, fluffy waffles that will perfectly complement the crispy chicken.

5

Assemble the sandwich

Take a cooked waffle and place a fried chicken breast on top. Drizzle with maple syrup or your favorite sauce. Top it off with another waffle and secure it all together with a toothpick. Voila! Your crispy chicken and waffles sandwich is ready to be devoured!
