Buttermilk Chicken And Waffle Bites Food

BUTTERMILK WAFFLES WITH BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• For the waffles: Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
• In a second bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth, then whisk in the buttermilk and butter until combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until the batter comes together; there will be lumps. Cover and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Set a baking rack over baking sheet and place on the center rack. Preheat a waffle maker according to manufacturer's instructions and brush with melted butter.
• For each waffle, ladle about 1/3 cup of the batter onto the iron. Cover and cook until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes; the waffles will be a little misshapen--not perfectly square, with rounded corners. As you go, transfer the cooked waffles to the baking rack in the oven and hold there while you fry the chicken.
• For the fried chicken: While the waffle batter rests, place the chicken tenders in a resealable plastic bag. Add 1 cup of the buttermilk and the hot sauce, then seal the bag and marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour with the garlic powder, onion powder, chile de arbol, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Transfer half of the flour mixture to a second bowl. In a third bowl, put the remaining 1 cup buttermilk.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 inches of oil in a high-sided skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium heat until it registers 360 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, dredge the chicken in the first dish of seasoned flour, then dip in the buttermilk, letting excess drain off, and finally dredge in the second bowl of seasoned flour, tapping off excess. Fry until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate and season with salt.
• To serve, put two waffles on each of four plates. Top them with three tenders and drizzle all with hot sauce, if desired, and honey.

CRISPY BUTTERMILK POPCORN CHICKEN IN A WAFFLE BOWL

Steps:

• Place the buttermilk, pepper and 1 teaspoon salt in a resealable plastic bag and add the chicken, turning to coat. Marinate for at least 2 or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and fit a wire rack in a small baking sheet.
• Heat the oil to 375 degrees F in a heavy-bottomed pot.
• Whisk together the flour, granulated garlic, paprika and remaining 1 teaspoon salt in a dish. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and dredge it in the flour mixture. Shake off the excess and, working in batches, fry the chicken until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the rack set in the baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you finish frying the remaining chicken.
• To build the bowls, place some shredded lettuce in the bottom of the waffle bowls. Divide the hot popcorn chicken among them, then top with the quartered cherry tomatoes and more lettuce. Drizzle with the Buttermilk Honey Dressing.
• Mix together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, mustard, honey, dill, granulated garlic and black pepper in a small bowl and season with salt.

CHICKEN AND BUTTERMILK WAFFLE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• For the spice mixture: In a medium bowl, blend the pecans, both sugars, the cinnamon and nutmeg. Take a fork or a spoon and mix the ingredients until well blended.
• For the fried chicken: In medium pot, heat the oil on the stove top. Wash the chicken thoroughly. Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
• In a bowl, add the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. In another bowl, pour in the buttermilk. Place the cubed chicken into the buttermilk, then remove and place into the flour until all the pieces are covered in flour. Add the chicken to the oil and fry until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside a handful of small pieces for garnish.
• For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line muffin pans with paper liners.
• In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then stir in the vanilla. Combine the cake flour and baking powder, add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in the buttermilk until the batter is smooth. Add the maple syrup, shredded fried chicken and spiced dry mix to the batter and stir. Then scoop the batter into the liners. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The cupcakes are done when they spring back to the touch.
• Let cool.
• For the frosting: In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese until well blended. Then add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time. Add the maple extract.
• To assemble: Once the cupcakes are cool, you may use a spoon or piping bag to frost the cupcakes with the maple frosting. After you have frosted, use a small piece of the remaining fried chicken to garnish the top of the cupcakes.

FRIED CHICKEN AND BUTTERMILK WAFFLES

Steps:

• Chicken: Heat enough vegetable oil to come about 1-inch up the sides of a large, deep cast iron skillet to 350 degrees F.
• Rinse the chicken under cold running water and do not dry; leave wet. In a large sealable bag, combine the flour with the Essence. Add the chicken pieces 1 at a time, seal, and shake to coat evenly. Remove and place on a wire rack over a baking sheet and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Carefully add the chicken to the hot oil and fry, turning once, until golden brown and the meat is cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes (the thighs and legs will take longest to cook). Remove and drain on paper towels. Remove the pan from the heat and with a slotted spoon, scoop out any browned bits remaining in the pan and drain on paper towels.
• Waffles: Preheat a waffle iron and lightly grease. Into a large bowl, sift the dry ingredients together.
• In a clean bowl, beat the eggs. Add the butter and buttermilk and beat to combine. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix well.
• Pour the batter into the hot waffle iron and cook until golden brown and lightly crisp. Remove and if desired, top with a slice of butter, and serve with the chicken and maple syrup.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

BITE-SIZE CHICKEN AND WAFFLES

Steps:

• For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and spray generously with cooking spray.
• Slice the chicken into 1 1/4-inch chunks. Stir the flour, chile powder, garlic powder, mustard powder, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a shallow bowl. Crack the eggs into another shallow bowl and beat well. Place the panko in a third shallow bowl.
• Toss the chicken chunks in the flour to coat, then shake the excess off. Dip a chicken chunk into the egg, let the excess drip off, and then place in the panko, turning and pressing the panko onto the surface to coat. Place the breaded chicken chunk on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Spray the chicken all over with cooking spray then bake, turning the chunks once halfway through, until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the chicken is just cooked through, about 20 minutes.
• For the waffles: Preheat a waffle iron. Whip the egg whites with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form, and then reserve for a later use.
• Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla, butter and egg yolks until combined. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir gently until the batter is just combined with some small lumps. Fold in the egg whites (there will still be some lumps).
• Cook the waffles in the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 3/4 cup batter per waffle. Transfer the waffles to a cutting board and cut each waffle into quarters.
• Place the maple syrup in a small saucepot and throw in the rosemary sprigs. Warm over medium-low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, then remove the rosemary.
• Arrange the waffle bites on a platter. Drizzle the waffles with a little syrup and top each bite with a chicken chunk. Serve with strawberries to garnish on the plate.
