CHICKEN AND STUFFED WAFFLES

Steps:

• For the waffles: Set a medium saute pan over high heat and coat with some canola oil. Sprinkle the chicken breast all over with salt and pepper and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from pan and allow to cool. Return the pan to high heat and coat with more oil. Add the onions and peppers and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Season with the cumin and some salt and pepper. Finely dice the chicken breast and fold in with the peppers and onions. Mix well, and then remove from the pan and set aside to cool.
• Preheat a waffle iron. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and add the milk, melted butter and eggs. Mix together with a whisk, working your way from the center out to gradually incorporate the dry ingredients. This helps avoid lumps. Fold in the pepper and chicken mixture. Ladle the mixture onto the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are puffy and golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Place on a wire rack over a sheet tray and keep warm in the oven as you cook the waffles and the chicken (this will also help them crisp up even more).
• For the chicken and gravy: Set up a breading station with a container each for the 1 cup flour, whisked eggs and panko breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Then take each of the chicken breasts and lightly dredge in the flour. Dip in the eggs then coat in the panko. Pour the oil into a large nonstick saute pan and set over medium-high heat. When hot, add the breaded chicken breasts. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes on each side, and then set aside to drain on paper towels. There should be about 3 tablespoons of oil remaining, if not pour some out. Then add the remaining 3 tablespoons flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, onion powder and cayenne. Whisk together to make a roux and cook until brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the milk while whisking, and then season well with salt and plenty of ground black pepper. Simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened and smooth. Serve the chicken on top of the waffles and pour the gravy over the top. Drizzle with some maple syrup and serve with Fiery Fieri Hot Sauce on the side.
• Remove the green stems of the chiles and split down the middle to open them up. Place in a medium saucepan with the onions, salt and 1 1/2 cups water. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Cook until the water has almost completely evaporated, 10 to 12 minutes. Place the mixture in a food processor and add the white vinegar. Pulse 6 or 7 times until the chiles have broken down. Pour into a sieve over a bowl to strain and use the back of a rubber spatula to squeeze out the chile pulp. Stir in the agave nectar. Cool the hot sauce. Use immediately or store in an airtight glass jar or bottle to keep. Makes about 1 cup.

WAFFLE-STUFFED CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Combine waffle mix, water, and vegetable oil in a large bowl; stir until no lumps remain. Let stand until thickened, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Heat a Belgian waffle iron according to manufacturers' instructions. Grease with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 of the waffle batter into the iron; close and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Cool waffles on a wire rack.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Cut waffles into small pieces. Stuff pieces between the meat and skin of the chicken wings. Place chicken wings on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until wings are golden brown and crisp, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool.
• Bring maple syrup to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in cayenne pepper. Simmer until thickened to a glaze, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Combine cooled chicken wings and maple glaze in a large bowl; toss until coated.

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.
