Description

A delightful combination of crispy fried chicken and fluffy waffles, elevated with hot honey for a flavorful brunch experience.


Ingredients

  • Omaha Steaks Air-Chilled Chicken Breasts
  • All-purpose flour
  • Cornstarch
  • Baking powder
  • Salt and pepper
  • Buttermilk
  • Eggs
  • Waffle mix (or ingredients to make waffles)
  • Honey
  • Hot sauce
  • Butter (for serving)


Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk to combine the buttermilk and eggs.
  3. Dip each chicken breast into the buttermilk mixture, ensuring full coverage.
  4. Coat the chicken in the flour mixture, pressing gently onto the chicken.
  5. Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Fry the chicken breasts in hot oil until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  7. Prepare the waffles according to package instructions or your chosen recipe.
  8. For the hot honey, mix honey with a splash of hot sauce.
  9. Serve the fried chicken on top of the waffles, drizzle with hot honey, and add a pat of butter if desired.

Notes

For crispier chicken, increase cornstarch in the flour mixture. Let the chicken rest after frying to retain juiciness.
