Waffle And Wings Food

MAPLE BBQ CHICKEN AND SWEET POTATO WAFFLES

Steps:

• Pour enough oil into a large Dutch oven to come about one-third of the way up the sides (it should be deep enough to cover the wings) and heat to 350 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with a wire rack.
• Rinse the chicken wings (the water is going to help the flour stick) and place on one of the prepared baking sheets. Season both sides with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place the flour and House Seasoning in a large paper bag and shake to combine. Add the chicken wings, 2 at a time, shaking well to coat. Return the coated wings to the same baking sheet.
• Fry the wings in batches until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to the other prepared baking sheet.
• To serve, toss the wings with the Maple BBQ Sauce. Place two wings on each Sweet Potato Waffle. Top with jalapeno slices, if desired, drizzle with maple syrup and serve warm.
• Preheat a Belgian waffle iron.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, sweet potato, melted butter, sugar, and eggs. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined.
• Add a heaping cup of waffle batter to the preheated waffle iron and cook until the outsides of the waffle are lightly browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes, depending on your waffle iron. Remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.
• Stir together the tomato sauce, maple syrup, brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and onion powder in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 30 minutes. If the sauce becomes too thick, add up to 1/4 cup water. Season with salt and pepper. Use on poultry, pork, beef or seafood. The sauce will keep, tightly covered in the refrigerator, for up to 2 weeks.
• Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

WAFFLE AND WINGS

Steps:

• For the wings: Whisk together the buttermilk, salt, chili powder, black pepper, thyme and cayenne in a large bowl. Add the wings and refrigerate for 6 hours.
• For the ham hock gravy: Combine the ham hocks and 2 quarts water in a large pot, bring to a simmer and cook for 3 hours. Add the celery, carrot and onion and simmer for 1 more hour.
• Strain the stock and keep the ham hocks. Pick the meat off the ham hocks and reserve for the gravy.
• Return the stock to the pot, bring to a boil and cook until reduced to 1 quart, about 30 minutes.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to make a roux. Cook the roux, stirring, until it gets a nice nutty brown color, about 5 minutes.
• Slowly whisk the reduced stock into the roux to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat and simmer, stirring regularly, for 5 minutes. Add the ham hock meat and heavy cream, season with salt and pepper and continue to simmer for 15 minutes more.
• For the waffle batter: Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs and melted butter.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk to combine. Some lumps in the batter are acceptable but not too many.
• Preheat a Belgian-waffle iron and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the batter into the center of the waffle iron (depending on the size of the waffle iron) and close. Cook until the waffle is golden brown, 3 to 6 minutes, depending on the iron. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• For the wing breading: Preheat the oil to 325 degrees F in a deep pot or deep fryer. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Combine the flour, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl or plate.
• Working with 3 to 4 wings at a time, dredge the wings in the flour and fry until the thickest part of the wing reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 10 minutes. As the wings are cooked, transfer them to a rimmed baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
• To plate: Place a hot waffle on each of 6 plates. Stack 3 wings on top of each. Divide the gravy among the plates and garnish with the chopped scallions.

FRIED CHICKEN AND WAFFLES AS MADE BY BREANA JACKSON RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Brine the chicken: In a large bowl or container, combine the buttermilk and 2 tablespoons of salt. Add the chicken to the brine, making sure to submerge fully. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. When ready to use, remove the chicken wings from the brine and pat dry with paper towels. Transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
• Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
• Fill a large cast iron skillet ¾ of the way with peanut oil and heat over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C).
• In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons salt, the onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, poultry seasoning, cayenne, and ground mustard until well combined.
• Transfer all but 2 tablespoons of the spice mixture to a medium bowl with the flour and cornstarch and whisk until well combined.
• In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, hot sauce, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
• Coat a chicken wing in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then dip in the buttermilk mixture, letting any excess drip off. Coat again in the flour mixture, pressing the flour into the chicken. Return the coated chicken to the wire rack and repeat with the remaining wings.
• Working with 2-3 wings at a time, fry the chicken in the hot oil until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 160-165°F (70-75°C). Remove the chicken from the oil, sprinkle on both sides with a pinch of the reserved spice mix, then set on a clean wire rack set over a baking sheet to cool. Repeat with the remaining chicken. When finished frying, transfer the chicken to the oven to keep warm until ready to serve.
• Make the waffles: Melt the butter in a medium nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns dark brown and smells nutty, between 7-10 minutes. Watch carefully and focus on color, so the butter does not burn, aiming from brown not black bits. Remove the pot from the heat.
• Add an ice cube to the butter and slowly let it melt. It may froth and bubble. Add the remaining ice cube and gently stir until melted. Pour ½ cup of the browned butter into a liquid measuring cup or heatproof bowl and let cool completely, about 5 minutes. Store any remaining browned butter in the refrigerator for another use.
• Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high heat.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In a medium bowl or large liquid measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, browned butter, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Let the batter sit for 5-7 minutes while the leavening agents activate.
• Grease the waffle iron with nonstick spray, then cook the waffles according to the manufacturer's instructions. You should have about 6 total, depending on the waffle iron. Set the waffles on a baking sheet as they finish cooking and transfer to the oven with the chicken to keep warm until ready to serve.
• To serve, place a waffle on each plate (either whole or cut into 4 pieces) and set 2-3 wings on top of or next to each waffle. Top the waffles with butter, maple syrup, and/or hot sauce, if desired. Serve hot.
• Any leftover waffles can be wrapped individually in plastic wrap, then placed in a zip-top bag and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Enjoy!
