SUNNY'S CRAZY RICH CHICKEN AND WAFFLES

Steps:

• For the flour: Add the flour, cornstarch, cayenne, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper to a shallow dish. Mix to distribute ingredients evenly.
• For the egg wash: Add the eggs, hot sauce, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper to a separate shallow dish. Whisk and add enough water to loosen, but still have enough body to coat something?like chicken!
• For the chicken: Dunk the tenders in the flour mixture, shake the pieces off, then dip in the egg mixture. Shake off the excess egg mixture and toss the tenders back in the flour mixture to coat. Shake off the excess and rest on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes. (If any areas look like they are soaking up the flour quickly while resting, dust the chicken with some more of the flour mixture.)
• Add the butter to a nonstick saucepan over medium heat and melt. Add the gold cocoa butter and stir until combined. Add the honey, maple syrup, hot sauce and some black pepper. Stir until combined and remove from the heat.
• Add enough oil to reach more than 3 inches up the side of a Dutch oven or large heavy pot over medium-high heat and bring to 350 degrees F. Shake off any excess flour from the tenders and gently place them in the oil in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Cook, while maintaining the oil temperature at around 350 degrees F, until the tenders are golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per batch. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle immediately with salt. Place on skewers with portions of Sunny's 1-2-3 Waffles. Drizzle with golden honey sauce and a shake of gold dust.
• Separate the egg into 2 bowls. Whisk the yolk, then whisk in the milk followed by the flour.
• Whisk the egg white until soft peaks form. Fold the white into the batter. Spray a waffle iron with cooking spray, then make waffles.

MINI CHICKEN AND WAFFLES ON A STICK

Steps:

• Set waffle iron to MEDIUM temperature.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, powdered sugar, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Add buttermilk, melted butter, egg whites and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
• The waffle iron is hot enough when the waffle iron indicator is red (on my machine anyway).
• For a 9-inch waffle maker, use about half of the batter. (Follow the instructions per your waffle maker.) Close the lid and cook until waffle golden brown and still steaming.
• Repeat with remaining batter.
• Place a cooling rack over a baking sheet.
• Heat 2 cups of oil in a heavy skillet to 375°F.
• Season the chicken, on both sides, with salt & pepper.
• In a medium dish, whisk together flour, mustard powder, garlic powder, paprika and soda water.
• Dredge the chicken in the batter and let the excess drip off.
• Fry until chicken is golden brown on one side then flip the chicken, using tongs, and fry on the other side until it is golden brown and cooked through. Internal temperature should read 160°F. (The chicken breasts will continue to cook after removing from the heat.) Transfer the chicken to the cooling rack to drain.
• Cut each waffle square into fourths. Cut each chicken tender into fourths.
• Skewer one piece of chicken between two mini waffle squares onto an appetizer skewer.
• Serve immediately with a side of maple syrup (or drizzle the syrup over the chicken waffle appetizers).
• Enjoy!

CHICKEN AND WAFFLES ON A STICK

Steps:

• For the chicken: Fold together the chicken tenders, buttermilk, tarragon, thyme and cayenne pepper in a shallow dish until thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove the chicken and buttermilk mixture from the refrigerator. Sift the flour, garlic powder, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and onion powder into a separate shallow dish.
• Preheat the oil in a large cast-iron pan over medium-high heat to about 350 degrees F. Thread each tender onto a skewer.
• Dredge each skewered tender in the flour mixture, coating completely and shaking off any excess. Dip each back in the buttermilk mixture and again in the flour mixture, gently shaking off any excess.
• In small batches, gently drop the skewers into the oil and fry, about 5 minutes. Flip and fry until golden brown, an additional 3 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
• For the waffle batter: Place the flour, milk, oil, sugar, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, salt and eggs in a large bowl and whisk until no lumps remain. Dip the fried tenders in the batter, coating completely. In batches, gently drop the skewers back into the oil and fry, about 4 minutes. Flip and fry an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Just before serving, brush with a light coating of melted butter and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve warm.

AIR FRYER CHICKEN AND WAFFLE KABOBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (93 degrees C). Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Arrange popcorn chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook chicken for 7 minutes, then flip and cook until lightly browned and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer chicken pieces to a baking sheet; keep warm in the preheated oven.
• Meanwhile, arrange half the waffles in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 90 seconds; flip and continue to cook until light brown in spots and crispy, about 20 seconds more. Transfer to baking sheet. Repeat with remaining waffles.
• Thread 2 waffles and 2 pieces of chicken onto each of 8 skewers. Thread berries onto remaining 12 skewers.
