I hope y’all don’t mind some serious Southern food, because that’s what I’m bringing y’all today.  In my opinion, food doesn’t really get much more Southern than some good old skillet fried chicken.  Not baked in an oven to make it healthy boring!<\/del>, but straight up battered and fried to perfection in a couple inches of oil, yum, yum, yum y’all.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>Though waffles are not a Southern invention, throwing fried delicious foods on random stuff, i.e., donuts, waffles, etc. kind of is or at least I like to think so.  Basically around these parts we like to think of the unhealthiest ways to enjoy food and we do that.  Ever since I made my coconut waffles a few weeks ago, I’ve been on a major waffle kick on my cheat days, and you might have noticed in previous posts, I love me some salty and sweet together.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>Y’all salty and sweet doesn’t get much better than this chicken and waffle sandwich, which I did in fact pour pancake syrup on before noshing #justkeepingitreal #noshame #innerchunkykidatwork.  You will notice in the recipe section I used a waffle mix and you may be thinking ‘Holly, why didn’t you make homemade waffles like before?’ well, if we’re being honest, because I flat out just didn’t feel like making them from scratch, that’s why \ud83d\ude42  <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>Also, I totally shared my mom’s secret to really awesome fried chicken in the recipe section, which ironically she got from a nutritionist family friend when she was kid-don’t you just love Southerners?.  Enjoy you guys!           <\/strong><\/p>\n

To make the waffles…waffle mix…<\/p>\n

<\/a>warm water and butter…<\/p>\n

<\/a>all mixed up…<\/p>\n

<\/a>into the waffle maker…<\/p>\n

<\/a>waffle ready and looking all delicious…<\/p>\n

<\/a>time to let our chicken hang out in some buttermilk for a while…<\/p>\n

<\/a>time to get the oil nice and hot…<\/p>\n

<\/a>for your chicken batter, flour, salt & pepper into the bowl…<\/p>\n

<\/a>take your chicken and heavily cover in the flour mixture…<\/p>\n

<\/a>into the pan, nice and browned on one side…<\/p>\n

<\/a>(here’s the secret) right before you take your chicken out place some butter into the pan…<\/p>\n

<\/a>it’s really going to bubble up, so be careful…<\/p>\n

<\/a>and enjoy!!!<\/p>\n

   \t\t\t

   THE WAFFLES<\/div>\t\t\t

   \t\t\t\t
   1. 1 (16 Ounce) Box of Belgian Waffle Mix-I Used Classique Fair Brand.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
   2. 2 1\/2 Cups of Warm Water.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
   3. 4 Tablespoons of Butter.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
   4. 1 Belgian Waffle Maker.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
      \t\t\t

      FOR THE FRIED CHICKEN<\/div>\t\t\t

      \t\t\t\t
      1. In a bowl place your chicken into your buttermilk making sure to well coat the chicken with the buttermilk, cover your bowl and let it sit in the fridge for at least an hour (I did mine overnight).<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      2. Place your vegetable shortening or coconut oil into your skillet or pan turning the heat onto medium high to start to heat the oil.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      3. In a separate bowl place your flour, salt and pepper and whisk briefly with a fork, set aside.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      4. Once the oil is hot but not bubbling because that's too hot, heavily cover your chicken in your flour mixture then carefully place in your oil.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      5. Let your chicken cook on each side about 5 minutes or until it's golden brown, and right before you take your chicken out place about 1 tablespoon of butter into the pan (this is the secret to good chicken btw) let it simmer and bubble for a bit then place the chicken on a plate with a couple of paper towels to soak up the extra grease, let cool.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
         \t\t\t

         FOR THE WAFFLES<\/div>\t\t\t

         \t\t\t\t
         1. Preheat your waffle maker.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
         2. In a large mixing bowl place your Belgian Waffle Mix, warm water and melted butter into your bowl and mix until well combined.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
         3. Place 3\/4 cup of the batter into your waffle maker and cook for around 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, continue until all waffles are made, there should be about 10 then enjoy with your chicken!<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>
