CHICKEN AND WAFFLES

Steps:

• Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large cast-iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Whisk the hot sauce and egg in a medium bowl; toss the chicken in the mixture to coat.
• Combine the flour, poultry seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl. Set aside 3 tablespoons seasoned flour in a separate bowl; dredge the chicken in the remaining seasoned flour until coated, shaking off any excess.
• Place the chicken in the hot oil and fry until golden and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once. Transfer to a rack to cool slightly; discard the oil.
• Melt the butter in the same skillet and whisk in the reserved seasoned flour until smooth. Whisk in the scallions, then slowly pour in the broth. Bring to a simmer, whisking until the gravy is smooth. Meanwhile, toast the waffles.
• Place a waffle on each plate and drizzle with maple syrup. Top with chicken and gravy and garnish with scallions.

CHICKEN AND WAFFLES

Steps:

• For the fried chicken: Whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce, garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken, making sure that all the pieces are fully submerged. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or seal the bag and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
• Mix together the flour, baking powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in another large resealable plastic bag. Set aside.
• For the waffles: Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (to keep cooked waffles warm). Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the milk, butter, shortening and eggs in another bowl. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and gently stir until just incorporated (it's okay if there are some lumps).
• Lightly brush the top and bottom of the waffle iron with butter. Fill the waffle iron about three-quarters of the way full (there should still be some waffle iron showing). Close the lid gently and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, 6 to 7 minutes. Keep the cooked waffles warm in the oven or covered with foil on a plate while you make the remaining waffles.
• For frying the chicken: Fill a wide, deep pot with 2 1/2 to 3 inches of oil and heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. As the oil heats, remove half the chicken from the buttermilk brine, letting any excess brine drip back into the bowl. Place into the bag of seasoned flour and seal. Shake the bag to thoroughly coat the chicken pieces. Remove the chicken, shaking off any excess flour, and transfer to a wire rack.
• Working in batches, carefully add the coated chicken to the hot oil. The oil temperature will drop to between 300 and 325 degrees F; adjust the heat to maintain this temperature (it's important not to let the oil get too hot or the crust will brown before the meat is cooked through). Fry the chicken, undisturbed, for about 1 minute to allow the crust to set; then begin to check the chicken pieces to make sure they are browning evenly and carefully turn as needed so that the pieces are evenly golden brown and cooked through and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a clean rack to drain; season with salt. Flour and fry the remaining chicken.
• Spread each waffle with softened butter and top with 1 to 2 pieces of chicken. Drizzle generously with honey and a few dashes of hot sauce and serve.
