Chicken Waffles
I love making mini foods! I marinated chicken tender chunks in Greek yogurt and spices to get the signature tender and succulent bites. The breading is super crunchy and aromatic because of the parmesan and granulated garlic in the mixture. I drizzled it with my favorite sweet chili sauce, but you can go for whatever sauce you fancy - from honey to hot sauce. Here is the only recipe for the best Chicken Waffles you’ll ever need!
Equipment
- 1 Waffle maker
- 1 Nonstick Deep Frying Pan
- 1 Electric Hand Mixer
Ingredients
For Crispy Chicken
- 3 chicken breasts (cubed)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tbsp parsley
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup parmesan
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
For Waffles
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp flaxseeds
- ½ cup shredded gouda
- 1 tbsp chives
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
Fry the Chicken
- Slice chicken breasts into two bite-size cubes. Marinate the chicken for half an hour in Greek yogurt and spices: salt, pepper, parsley, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and onion powder.
- In a large dish, merry breadcrumbs, a tad of salt, parmesan, and garlic powder.
- Pour vegetable oil into a skillet and heat it over medium.
- Coat the chicken into the breadcrumbs mixture and fry them until golden. This will take about 5 minutes, as the chicken chunks are small, and they could dry out.
- Arrange them on a paper towel to absorb residual oil.
Make the Waffles
- In a large bowl, mix wet ingredients: eggs, milk, Greek yogurt, and olive oil.
- Add flour, baking powder, a pinch of salt, chives, sesame, and flaxseeds. Combine all the ingredients so there are no lumps of flour left.
- Spray some oil on your waffle maker and heat it over medium. Pour the batter and bake until golden on top. This could take 5-10 minutes, depending on how strong your gadget is.
Serve
- Serve chicken and waffles with sweet chili sauce (or any other you love). Slice some tomato and butter lettuce salad on the side.
