Steps

For the waffle

  1. In a bowl, beat the egg. Add plain flour and salt, mixing continuously to combine.
  2. Add sugar, milk, melted butter and vanilla, mixing continuously until smooth.
  3. Ladle just enough batter to cover the edges into a preheated waffle maker.
  4. Cook until the waffles are golden brown.

For the chicken

  1. Add 1 teaspoon of each seasoning to the buttermilk, incorporate the chicken and let it marinate for at least half an hour.
  2. When ready to cook, pour vegetable oil in a skillet until it’s ¾ deep and heat it to 175 C.
  3. In a bowl, combine the plain flour and corn flour to create your breading mixture.
  4. Pull the chicken from the buttermilk, shaking it gently to remove any excess. Place it in the breading and coat thoroughly.
  5. Deep fry for 3 minutes a side, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 75 C.

For the sandwich

  1. Spread some honey mustard dressing on the bottom waffle, add lettuce and tomato, continue with the fried chicken. Add some pickles on top and ranch dressing to finish.
  2. Pour the maple syrup on top of the waffle.
