How to make Chicken and Waffles Recipe?

 

Ingredients for Chicken and Waffles:

Fried Chicken:

• 8 Boneless chickens on the skin.
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 2 1/2 cups whole purpose flour, and more if needed
• 1 tablespoon cooked salt,
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dry thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper, more if needed
• 1/4 cup milk, more if needed
• Vegetable oil for frying

Waffles:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• In addition to 4 large egg whites, 2 large egg yolks
• 8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter, melted
• 1 to 2 jalapenos, chopped.

Sauce:

• 1 cup pancake syrup
• 1/4 cup bourbon
• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) salted butter
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper

Directions:

1. Special equipment: a deep-fry thermometer.
2. For fried chicken: Wash the chicken thoroughly, then cover all the pieces with 1 3/4 cup buttermilk. Refrigerate overnight or for 24 hours.
3. When you are ready to fry the chicken, take the bowl out of the fridge and let it sit on the counter for 30 minutes to cool.
4. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 360 degrees F and mix the breading. In a large bowl, add flour, seasoned salt, paprika, black pepper, thyme, and red pepper (extra red pepper if you like heat) and stir well.
5. In a small bowl, combine the milk and the remaining 1/4 cup of buttermilk. Add in the flour mixture and mix slowly with a fork until it has a few lumps. It will stick with the chicken and make more crispy bread. If necessary, add a little more flour or milk to the bowl so that it becomes a small lump.
6. Heat 1 1/2 to 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat until the deep-fry thermometer reaches 365 degrees F. To prevent the oil from overheating, reduce the heat slightly if necessary.
7. When working in batches, coat each piece of chicken well with the breadcrumbs, pressing extra bread on the chicken if necessary. So place the bread crumbs on a plate.
8. Put 3 or 4 pieces of chicken in oil at a time. Make sure they are not sticking together, then cover the skeleton and fry for 5 to 7 minutes, occasionally checking that the chicken is not turning too brown. Turn the pieces over, cover again and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes. Always monitor the oil temperature so that the chicken does not burn. Transfer the fried chicken pieces to a baking sheet (they will not be cooked completely) and keep frying the rest of the chicken.
9. Bake the thighs for 15 minutes to finish cooking. Sometimes I cut into thick pieces of one of the large pieces, just to make sure the chicken is cooked. (So if any pink juice or meat is visible, the chicken needs to continue cooking in the oven.) Cover and keep warm.
10. For waffles: Preheat the waffle iron as usual. You can combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
11. Put in a separate bowl, and whisk together the milk, vanilla, and 2 egg yolks. Pour over dry ingredients and stir very gently until halfway through. Add in the melted butter and chopped jalapenos and mix gently until combined.
12.  In a separate bowl (or using a mixer), whisk 4 egg whites until stiff. Slowly attach them to the batsman, preventing them from joining all the way.
13. Scoop the batter into your waffle iron in batches and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions (tilt to be slightly darker golden and crisp!).
14. For the sauce: In a small bowl, add the pancake syrup and bourbon and bring to a boil. To reduce heat and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter at a time, then red pepper.
15. Serve: So place 2 chicken thighs on top of a waffle. Pour hot sauce over everything and serve immediately.
