Prep Time

Chicken needs 4 hours to marinate

Cook Time

30 minutes for both chicken and waffles

Ingredients

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
  • 2 Tbsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp paprika
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 3 – 4 lbs chicken thighs and legs
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup flour
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Runamok Hot + Spicy Maple
  • For Waffles
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 2 Tbsp white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • ⅓ cup butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. For the marinade, combine buttermilk, garlic, salt, paprika and bay leaves. Add the chicken pieces and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  2. Remove the chicken from the fridge and drain into a colander over the sink.
  3. Whisk the eggs in a bowl. Put the flour into a separate bowl. Dredge the chicken into the flour, then into the egg and then back into the flour. Set on a plate in preparation for frying.
  4. Prepare the oil by pouring some into a wide pot so it is roughly 1” deep. Turn the heat onto high until it is 350°F.
  5. Gently lower the chicken into the oil so there is just one layer and put the lid on the pot, leaving it open a crack. Lower the heat to medium and let the chicken thoroughly brown on one side, about 8 minutes.
  6. Remove the lid and turn the pieces to repeat on the other side. When the entire piece is fully browned, remove with tongs to a rack placed over a pan. Repeat with the remaining chicken.

  1. For Waffles: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and blend well.
  2. Heat your waffle pan and gently brush with butter or oil.
  3. Pour enough batter to sparsely cover your waffle grid and then close the lid. Cook for several minutes or until your waffle machine indicates they are done.
  4. Remove to a plate, top with fried chicken, and drizzle with Runamok's Hot + Spicy Maple Syrup.
