Waffle Cone Fried Chicken Tenders Recipes

CHICKEN AND WAFFLE CONES

Steps:

• Cook the frozen mashed potatoes according to the package instructions. Cook the popcorn chicken according to the package instructions.
• Whisk together the honey, hot sauce and crushed red pepper flakes in a small bowl until combined.
• Using an ice cream scoop, scoop about 1/4 cup of the mashed potatoes into each cone and top with 3 to 4 chicken pieces. Drizzle the hot honey mixture over the top and serve.

WAFFLE CONE FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Chicken:.
• Preheat oil in a heavy bottomed pot to 350 degrees.
• Combine the chicken and milk in bowl. In another bowl whisk together the flour, salt and pepper. Coat the chicken in the flour mixture.
• Working in batches fry the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
• Remove to a paper towel lined plate and season with salt.
• To assemble cones, fill waffle cones with chicken, drizzle with cheese sauce and garnish with chives.
• Cheese sauce: Bring the half and half to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the cheese in batches and whisk until smooth. Serve immediately.

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.

QUICK FRIED CHICKEN AND WAFFLES

Steps:

• Whisk together eggs, 2 cups buttermilk, and butter. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Transfer 1 cup flour mixture to a shallow bowl; fold rest into wet ingredients. Preheat a Belgian-waffle iron; brush with oil. Pour in 1 cup batter; spread, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Cook until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and pepper; dredge in reserved flour mixture. Shake off excess. Dip in remaining 1 cup buttermilk, then again in flour; repeat. Cook in batches until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes a side. Transfer to a plate and serve, with waffles, butter, syrup, and hot sauce.

• Preheat a waffle cone maker according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Pour batter into the preheated waffle maker and cook according to instructions.
