Ah, the fried chicken and waffle.

I feel like the combination just should not work but I also know for a fact that fried chicken on a waffle, smothered with hot honey and a little butter too, works very, very well.

I also am smart enough to know that this is not every day food.

Do not, I repeat, do not eat chicken and waffles every day. I do not want you to die on the toilet like fat Elvis.

FRIED CHICKEN & WAFFLES

Enough fried chicken for 2-3 pieces per serve
1-2 waffles per serve
Butter, to serve
Hot honey, to serve (recipe follows)

CORNBREAD WAFFLES

(makes 10 or so waffles)

3 cups self raising flour (this can be swapped out for gluten free self raising flour really easily)
1 cup polenta
1 cup shredded tasty cheese
850 ml milk
½ cup oil
4 eggs, separated, whites whisked to soft peaks
1 tablespoon salt

Place flour, polenta and cheese in a bowl and mix to combine.
Place milk, oil, egg yolks and salt in a separate bowl and mix to combine.
Pour wet ingredients onto dry ingredients and mix all with a large whisk until just combined.
Now add egg whites into the mix and gently fold through until just combined.
Get your waffle maker up to medium-high heat.
Once hot, spray a light coating of oil over the bottom of the waffle maker, spoon or ladle enough waffle batter over to just cover it, spray the top side of your waffle maker with oil and then close her up.
Cook waffles for 2 ½ – 3 minutes, or until done.
Set aside in a warm spot amnd repeat process until you have enough waffles.
Load them up with a little butter, fried chicken and hot honey for a dirty dinner.

500 ml honey
1 cup hot sauce
1 teaspoon ground chilli if you like it proper hot
½ cup water

Combine all ingreientas in a pot over medium-low heat.

This is a great drtessing for numerous things including roast chicken, grilled pork, chinese takeaway honey prawns, pepporoni pizza, bacon or ham, and anywhere hot sauce might normally be used.
