Chicken and Waffle Tacos
Report
These chicken and waffle tacos are a fun take on an old favorite. Crispy fried chicken is cradles in a waffle "shell" and topped with syrup.

Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup water
- 1 ¾ cup pancake mix any “just add water” mix
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts diced
- ½ cup flour
- ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic pepper
Maple Honey Mustard Syrup
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
Instructions
- Get out and measure your ingredients.
- Preheat waffle iron.
- Fill a pot with 3” of vegetable oil and heat to 375 degrees.
- Prepare waffle batter. In a medium mixing bowl, combine water, pancake mix, vegetable oil, brown sugar, and pepper.
- Whisk until smooth.
- Add 2 tablespoon of waffle batter to the waffle iron.
- Cook 1-2 minutes each.
- Look for a golden color before removing, these will need to still be pliable so careful not to overcook.
- Immediately place waffles onto a kitchen towel and cover to allow the steam to further soften them.
- Set up a dredging station for the chicken.
- Combine flour and garlic in one bowl, whisk eggs in another.
- Combine panko and garlic pepper in the third bowl.
- Cut the chicken into 1” bite sized pieces.
- Dredge the chicken in the flour.
- Then the eggs.
- Finally roll in panko crumbs.
- Now you're ready to fry!
- Repeat until all pieces are coated.
- Carefully add chicken to the hot oil and fry 3-4 minutes.
- Or until golden and crispy.
- While waiting for chicken to be done frying, prepare maple honey mustard sauce.
- Combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
- Whisk until blended well.
- Uncover waffles and mold into taco shells by bending in half. We use a taco mold for this step, you can also flip a muffin tin upside down and place waffle taco shells in between the molds to hold their shape.
- Add 3-4 pieces of chicken to the waffle tacos.
- Drizzle with maple honey mustard and garnish with fresh chives.
- Serve!
- Enjoy every bite!
