Chicken and Waffles

Whisk buttermilk, eggs, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until smooth.

Add chicken pieces, coat evenly, cover, and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

Remove chicken from marinade and let excess drip off.

Mix flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a shallow dish.

Dredge each chicken piece thoroughly in the flour mixture, pressing to coat.

Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F.

Fry chicken 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through.

Drain chicken on a wire rack or paper towels and keep warm.

Prepare waffle batter according to package directions and cook waffles until crisp and golden.

Serve fried chicken over warm waffles and drizzle generously with maple syrup.
