We love chicken and waffles! So great for dinner, the kids are always so happy when we have it. I was looking for a bit of an easier method than my triple-dipped Chicken Fried Chicken and something with a little less batter. I came across this method and it’s perfect for chicken and waffles!

Start with a buttermilk brine. I use Beer Buttermilk Marinated Chicken marinated overnight.

And here’s where the genius comes in. It’s like shake and bake but cheaper. 2 cups of flour and your choice of seasoning. I used 1 teaspoon each onion powder, garlic powder, salt, paprika plus 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, but adjust this to your taste.
Pull the chicken directly out of the marinade, and toss right in the flour bag and coat well.

Set on a rack to dry. This helps the batter adhere. It took about an hour so keep that in mind when you’re making this.

Most of the flour should have absorbed and should give it a bit of a gluey texture.
Then deep fry.

We use peanut oil at 350 degrees. It should only take about 5-7 minutes (this depends on how thick your chicken is but you want the internal temp to read 165 for poultry).

Prepare you waffles. I used Sourdough waffles. I use the Cuisinart double waffle iron and it’s SUPER fast.

This is the perfect frying technique for serving chicken with waffles. I serve with maple syrup and cream chicken gravy.
