6. To serve, quarter each waffle and serve
2 quarters with one piece of fried chicken
and maple syrup on the side.
*If you do not have a deep fryer, the chicken
can easily be fried on the stovetop. In a large
sauté pan, add about 1 inch of oil and set the
pan over medium-high heat. Using a deep-fat
thermometer, bring oil to 375°F. Fry the chicken
in batches, about 2 pieces at a time. You do not
want to crowd the pot or the oil will cool down
too much and not fry well. Fry, flipping once,
until chicken is nicely browned, about 4 minutes
per batch. Chicken should have an internal
temperature of 170°F. Transfer chicken to the
prepared cooling rack.
