Instructions
- Before preparing the casserole, remove the chicken from the freezer and allow it to thaw slightly.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the frozen waffles on a baking sheet and bake them in the oven according to package directions. The toaster is also an option, but note every toaster differs!
- While the waffles are baking, prepare the wet ingredient mixture. Add eggs, egg whites, milk, honey, salt, and ground cinnamon to a medium bowl. Whisk together thoroughly.
- Once the waffles are finished, keep the oven on. Cut each waffle into six bite-sized pieces (half, then three even pieces). Set the pieces aside.
- Pour the semi-frozen chicken onto a cutting board and slice each piece into ~1-inch pieces.
- Generously coat a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Combine the waffle pieces and chicken pieces in the dish. Arrange them so they’re evenly distributed in a single layer (some minor overlapping is okay).
- Pour egg mixture over the chicken and waffles. Use a silicone brush to paint the maple syrup on the top of the casserole. Cover the dish with tinfoil.
- Bake for 50 minutes on the middle oven rack. It’s fully cooked when the casserole/egg mixture has solidified and popcorn chicken and waffles are golden brown.
- Top with extra maple syrup, light butter, and powdered sugar. Enjoy warm!
Notes
- Do bake the waffles and do not bake the chicken prior to assembling the casserole.
- You can assemble the casserole in advance, then cover with plastic wrap and set in the fridge overnight and then bake in the morning. This is a great option if you’ve got overnight guests.

- Cooking times will vary based on different ovens. Make sure the egg mixture is fully cooked and chicken is golden brown.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I recommend reheating in the oven, toaster oven, or air-fryer (as opposed to the microwave) to avoid a soggy casserole.
