Chicken and Waffles Recipe
Instructions:
Step 1: Marinate & Fry the Chicken
Marinate: In a bowl, combine chicken pieces, buttermilk, 1/2 tbsp garlic powder, 1/2 tbsp paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight).
Dredge: In a shallow dish, whisk together flour, remaining garlic powder, onion powder, remaining paprika, and a pinch of salt. Remove chicken pieces from the buttermilk, dredge thoroughly in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Fry: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy pot to 175°C (350°F). Fry chicken in batches for 12–15 minutes until deep golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F). Transfer to a wire rack to drain.
