About Fried chicken and waffles
Fried Chicken and Waffles is a savory-sweet dish combining crispy, seasoned fried chicken with warm, fluffy waffles. This iconic comfort food has roots in Southern U.S. cuisine but also draws influence from the soul food tradition and Pennsylvania Dutch cooking. The chicken is typically coated in a seasoned flour or batter and deep-fried, while the waffles are often made from a blend of flour, eggs, milk, and baking powder, then cooked until golden. Nutritionally, the dish is rich in protein from the chicken but often high in calories, saturated fats, and sodium due to frying and seasoning. Waffles contribute carbohydrates and can be a source of sugars if topped with syrup. Healthier adaptations may include oven-baked chicken, whole-grain waffles, and minimal use of sugary toppings. While indulgent, this dish can be enjoyed occasionally as part of a balanced diet.
