Today, I’m sharing a fun and unique recipe that combines two classic comfort foods into one delicious dish: Crispy Chicken and Waffle Tacos. This dish is perfect for a casual brunch with friends or a cozy night in with your family. The crispy chicken, fluffy waffles, and flavorful toppings create a harmonious blend of sweet and savory flavors that will leave your taste buds satisfied.

Ingredients:

• boneless, skinless chicken thighs (500g)
• all-purpose flour (150g)
• cornmeal (50g)
• baking powder (10g)
• salt (5g)
• black pepper (3g)
• buttermilk (300ml)
• egg
• butter (50g), melted
• maple syrup
• hot sauce
• shredded lettuce
• sliced pickles

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• skillet
• tongs
• waffle iron

Start by preparing the chicken. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg. Dip each chicken thigh into the buttermilk mixture, then coat it in the flour mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the melted butter. Cook the chicken thighs for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and let them rest on a paper towel-lined plate.

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the waffles in the waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once the waffles are cooked, cut them into smaller taco-sized pieces.

To assemble the tacos, place a piece of waffle on a plate, top it with a crispy chicken thigh, shredded lettuce, sliced pickles, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a dash of hot sauce. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors and textures.
