Brine Chicken:

In a large bowl, mix together buttermilk and 1 Tablespoon of salt. Add the chicken pieces, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda and powder, and salt.

Fry chicken in batches until cooked and golden, about 6 to 8 minutes and chicken reaches an intrnal temperature of 165°F. Remove chicken to prepared wire rack.
Add waffles to a plate, top with chicken and drizzle with maple syrup before serving.
