Instructions
Chicken
- Add chicken to bowl or sealable plastic bag and cover with buttermilk. Marinate for 1 hour (the lactic acids tenderize the chicken), but no longer than 4 hours.
- Mix the flours, poultry seasoning, salt and black pepper together in a bowl. Shake excess buttermilk from chicken and dredge each piece in the seasoned flour to coat well on both sides. Set aside on tray. Preheat oven to 200°F.
- Add enough oil to a Dutch oven or deep skillet to measure 2 inches. Add butter and heat oil until it almost shimmers. Place the 4 pieces of chicken per batch in the butter and oil and fry for 8-9 minutes. Check internal temperature is 165°F or cook longer (See Note 1-4). Drain on paper towels, cover loosely with foil or place in warm oven while making the waffles.
Waffles
- Preheat waffle maker and coat with nonstick oil spray.
- Whisk together the Dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- In another bowl whisk Wet ingredients and pour into the Dry ingredients. Whisk until you have a smooth batter.
- Pour about 2/3 cup batter into each waffle mold, then cook according to waffle maker directions. Serve waffles immediately with hot fried chicken, maple syrup or hot honey.
Hot Honey
- In a small saucepan melt the butter with the honey and hot sauce. whisk until combined and keep warm until serving.
Notes
- Allow your chicken to come to room temperature before dropping it right into the hot oil. Cold, from the refrigerator, chicken will drastically alter the oil temp quickly.
- Get the oil temperature up to 350°-375°F before adding chicken. The temperature will drop when chicken goes in. Fry and keep it at a continuous 320-325°F.
- Don't over crowd your frying pan, you want to fry the chicken, not steam it! Chicken is done when it reaches 165°F internal temperature.
- Remove from hot oil and place on wire rack to cool. Season with salt if you like.
- Hot Honey is NOT included in the Nutrition count as it's optional.
