chicken and waffles!

whenever the hubbs is off we almost always sleep in.  so when we wake up and finally get ourselves together we are always stuck between breakfast or lunch. this is why i love chicken and waffles. you get the best of breakfast and the best of lunch. its so easy to make and its oh so delicious! if i know im going to be making chicken and waffles i like to season and soak my chicken in butter milk bath from the day before. this ensures your chicken will be extra juicy in the morning.

4-5 pieces of chicken thighs (boneless skinless)
2 cups butter milk
1 sprig of rosemary
salt and pepper (for seasoning)
1 cup of flour

*your favorite waffle recipe or mix
i prefer to make my own waffles this is the recipe i follow:

2 cups flour
1/2 cup oil
2 cups milk
2 eggs separated
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
4 tsp baking powder

1. 
   

the day before:
season your chicken thighs with salt and pepper. pour in butter milk and throw in the rosemary. cover and let sit in the fridge for 24 hours.

when ready to make. turn your deep fryer on to 375. dredge the chicken in flour and fry for 7-10 minutes depending on your chickens thickness and fryer settings. you know your chicken is ready when the juices run clear and they are golden brown.
serve on top of home made waffle with pure maple syrup. garnish with rosemary.

for the waffles:

1. Sift the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
2. Separate the eggs.
3. In small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff.
4. Mix together the egg yolks, milk and oil and stir slightly.
5. Add to dry ingredients and mix well.
6. Fold in beaten egg whites.
