1

Prepare the Chicken

Start by marinating boneless chicken strips in a mixture of buttermilk, hot sauce, and spices. Let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (or longer for maximum flavor).

2

Make the Doughnut Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and melted butter. Slowly add in milk and beaten eggs, whisking until smooth. The batter should be nice and lump-free, like a doughnut dream come true.

3

Fry the Chicken

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to around 350°F (175°C). Dip each marinated chicken strip into a mixture of flour, salt, and spices until coated. Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy on the outside, and cooked through on the inside. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and resist the temptation to eat them all immediately!

4

Cook the Waffles

While the chicken is frying, preheat your waffle iron and make the waffle batter according to your favorite recipe or using a waffle mix. Pour the batter onto the iron and cook until golden and crispy.

5

Glaze the Doughnuts

After the doughnuts have cooled slightly, dip them into a sweet glaze made from powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Let the glaze set for a few minutes, and then get ready for the grand assembly.

6

Assemble the Magic

Take a warm, glazed doughnut and cut it in half horizontally. Place a crispy chicken strip inside, sandwiching it between the fluffy waffle goodness. Secure with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat for more doughnut creations and behold the marvelous Chicken and Waffles Doughnut!
