Fried chicken and waffles is almost certainly just one of people dishes you have observed or listened to about but never tried using. At a glance, it is weird right? Combining fried chicken with…breakfast? Now, if you have experienced fried chicken and waffles then you know it’s the epitome of all sweet and savory combos. Not to mention it is the excellent justification to have breakfast for lunch or dinner.

Spicy fried chicken and waffles was impressed by a hole-in-the-wall cafe in the center of nowhere in Sonoma, California. Patty and I had been there for a marriage in wine place and stopped for lunch on the way up from San Francisco. I experienced never experienced the notorious chicken and waffle working experience at this stage, and the menu boasted a colossal spicy fried chicken and waffle lunch most loved. Problem recognized.

The menu basically experienced a warning on the spiciness issue. Some thing alongside the lines of, “This is definitely spicy and if you send out it again we will destroy you.” In other phrases, if you order this you’re caught with it—no get backs. It was warm, but it was definitely good—and I was hooked on the notion.

Now my variation is not colossal spicy, it definitely has a minimal kick, but it is fantastically well balanced out by the sweet Belgian waffle and maple syrup. The fried chicken method was impressed by a definitely simple Nashville fashion fried chicken well prepared by Chef Spike Mendelsohn. I substituted buttermilk for milk and added cayenne pepper and paprika to the breading. The elegance is no extra steps for developing a spicy coating or sauce. The spicy flavors are fried right into the chicken breading itself.

A single rapid idea in advance of I leave you to your brunch. I definitely deep fried the chicken for this recipe. No shortcuts or baked possibilities for this glutenous meal. I feel you have to have to go all out for this just one. I HIGHLY recommend you use a sweet thermometer to provide the oil to the right frying temperature. If the oil receives far too warm (above 340°F), it will melt away the breading in advance of completely cooking the chicken (realized that the really hard way).
