Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless chicken thighs
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 cups vegetable oil
• 2 cups waffle mix
• 1 cups milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 cups maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk and 2 tablespoons of hot sauce. Place the chicken thighs in the mixture, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

Step 2

In another bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. This will be your chicken coating.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess buttermilk to drip off. Dredge each piece thoroughly in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coat.

Step 5

Carefully place the coated chicken into the hot oil and fry in batches for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Set aside on a wire rack to drain excess oil.

Step 6

Prepare the waffle batter by combining the waffle mix, milk, egg, and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until smooth.

Step 7

Preheat your waffle iron and cook the waffles according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown. This recipe makes 4 large waffles.

Step 8

In a small saucepan, heat the maple syrup and 1 tablespoon of hot sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally until warm.

Step 9

Assemble the sandwiches by placing a piece of fried chicken on one waffle, drizzling with the spicy maple syrup, and topping with another waffle. Repeat for the remaining sandwiches.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Mantastic Fried Chicken N Waffle Sandwich!
