Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the milk and eggs together. Pour the milk mixture and melted butter into the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in the cheddar cheese and chives.
- Scoop the batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- While the waffles are cooking, prepare the chicken. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the seasoned flour until fully coated.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- In a small saucepan, warm the honey and hot sauce together until heated through.
- Serve the cheddar chive waffles immediately, topped with the fried chicken and drizzled with the hot honey sauce. Enjoy!
