Ingredients

Servings:

2 lb	boneless chicken thighs
2 cup	buttermilk
3 cup	all-purpose flour

2 tsp	salt
1 tsp	black pepper
½ cup	maple syrup
4 cup	oil for frying

Steps

marinate30 min
chicken thoroughly coated and chilled
Season the chicken and cover with buttermilk. A longer refrigerator rest improves seasoning and tenderness, but keep the chicken cold until frying.
mix8 min
waffle batter combined with a few small lumps remaining
Mix part of the flour with baking powder and salt, then whisk in eggs, milk and melted butter. Stop once hydrated; overmixing develops gluten and makes waffles tough.
fry22 min
oil near 350°F and chicken crisp, browned and cooked through
Dredge the marinated chicken in seasoned flour and fry in uncrowded batches. Let the oil recover between batches so the crust fries instead of absorbing oil.
griddle20 min
waffles deeply golden and crisp outside
Cook the waffle batter in a preheated waffle iron until steam subsides and the exterior is crisp. Hold finished waffles uncovered on a rack so trapped steam does not soften them.
rest5 min
chicken rested briefly; components still crisp
Rest fried chicken briefly, then assemble chicken over waffles only at the last second and serve maple syrup at the table rather than soaking the waffles in advance.
