Chicken and Waffles

I finally bought myself a waffle maker! And I decided to christen it by trying to make Chicken and Waffles for dinner. I added rosemary to my waffle batter to make it more savoury and was very pleased with the result.

Chicken and Waffles

Chicken

4 bone in chicken thighs
1/2 cup flour
1 tbsp seasoning salt
2 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 L canola oil

Waffles

1 cup flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp sugar

pinch salt

1 Tbsp fresh chopped rosemary

1 Tbsp fresh chopped thyme

1 large egg

2 Tbsp butter, melted

3/4 cup buttermilk

Baby Spinach

Butter

Warm Maple Syrup

For chicken, heat up oil in a deep set frying pan, or pot, to 350 degrees F. 

Place flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a plastic bag. Rinse chicken thighs and place in the bag full of the flour mixture. Shake to coat.

Take each piece out of the bag, shaking off a bit of the excess flour and place into the oil. Flip every 5 minutes, until cooked (about 20-25 minutes). Once cooked, place on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil, then cut the bone out once cooled.

Mix all ingredients for the waffles in a bowl. Waffle batter should be fairly thick, like a cake batter, so adjust milk to flour ratio as needed.

Cook in your waffle maker as per it's directions. 

Place waffles on a plate and butter. Top with spinach and fried chicken. Drizzle maple syrup over top. Devour!
