Mini Chicken And Waffles Food

MINI CHICKEN AND WAFFLES

Steps:

• Chicken and waffles are a match made in heaven - so why not chicken and waffle fries? To make this easy app, bake chicken nuggets and waffle fries as the labels direct. Top each waffle fry with a nugget, skewer with a toothpick and drizzle with spicy honey.

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!

QUICK MINI CHICKEN AND WAFFLES APPETIZERS

Steps:

• Stir together cooked chopped chicken, cheese and bbq sauce in a medium bowl; microwave on HIGH for 1 to 1½ minutes to warm. Toast waffles in the toaster until lightly browned; top each with a teaspoonful or two of chicken mixture. Sprinkle with green onions.

CHICKEN IN A WAFFLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spread chicken nuggets out on a baking sheet.
• Bake nuggets in the preheated oven until hot and crispy, 11 to 13 minutes.
• Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions and lightly coat with cooking spray.
• Whisk flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Whisk buttermilk, oil, and eggs together in another bowl. Pour buttermilk mixture into flour mixture and stir until batter is just-combined.
• Place 1 chicken nugget in the center of each waffle section on the waffle iron. Cover each nugget with about 1 tablespoon of batter, close the waffle iron, and cook until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes. Repeat with remaining nuggets and batter.

MINI HOT CHICKEN AND WAFFLE SLIDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Place 20 chicken nuggets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Reserve any remaining nuggets for another use.
• Bake nuggets in the preheated oven for 6 minutes. Flip and bake until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, prepare sauce: Heat butter, maple syrup, canola oil, brown sugar, paprika, cayenne, kosher salt, garlic powder, and black pepper in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and well combined, 3 to 5 minutes. If sauce thickens too much, reduce heat to low and whisk in 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Keep warm.
• As the sauce is cooking, toast waffles, then separate each one into 4 mini waffles.
• Assemble sliders: Place a chicken nugget on top of a waffle and top with 1 heaping teaspoon slaw. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon sauce, top with a pickle slice, and place a second waffle on top. Secure slider with a toothpick or skewer, if desired. Repeat to make remaining sliders. Serve with extra sauce.
