Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ⅔ cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 6 cups vegetable oil
- ¼ cup truffle honey
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 200°F to keep waffles warm as you cook. Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high, and lightly grease it with oil or nonstick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently fold together using a rubber spatula—mix until just combined for tender waffles.
- Scoop about ½ cup of batter into the preheated waffle iron. Close gently and cook for 4–5 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Transfer cooked waffles to a wire rack in the oven to keep warm.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
- Working one piece at a time, coat chicken in the flour mixture, dip into buttermilk, then return to the flour mix, pressing firmly to create a crisp outer layer.
- In a deep Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat vegetable oil to 360°F. Fry chicken in batches, turning occasionally, for about 4–5 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
- Transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
- Top each waffle with a piece of hot fried chicken. Drizzle generously with our Truffle Honey for a rich, aromatic finish. Serve immediately.
