Because the waffles are cooked first and held in a low oven, the chicken can go straight from the oil to the table.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Sprinkle 300 g chicken thighs evenly with salt and pepper and let rest for 10 minutes to allow the seasoning to penetrate.
- 2
Dredge the chicken lightly in flour to create a thin base coating and shake off any excess.
- 3
In a bowl, combine 180 g flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 180 ml milk, 1 egg, and 30 g melted butter.
Mix until smooth with no lumps to make the waffle batter.
- 4
Preheat the waffle iron, pour in the batter, and cook the waffles first.
Keep them warm in an 80°C oven while frying the chicken.
- 5
Beat the remaining egg and coat the chicken with the egg wash, then dredge again in flour for a second thin coating.
- 6
Fry the chicken in 170°C oil for 8-10 minutes until the coating turns deep golden brown and crispy.
Drain on a wire rack.
- 7
Place the crispy chicken on warm waffles and drizzle generously with maple syrup.
