Ingredients

Pantry

  • 1 cup Cornstarch

  • 1 cup Flour

  • 1 tbs All Purpose Spice Blend

  • 2 cups Baking Mix

  • 2 Apples

  • 1 tbs Sugar

Fridge and Freezer

  • 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs, thawed

  • 2 Eggs

  • 1 cup Buttermilk

  • ¼ cup Butter

  • ¼ cup Pancake Syrup

  • 1 ⅓ cups Milk

Directions

  1. Wash hands with soap and water. Prepare three shallow bowls, one with the cornstarch, one with 1 beaten egg and ⅔ of the buttermilk, and one with the flour and spice blend.

  2. Dip each chicken thigh into the cornstarch, then the egg, then the flour, and place each on a plate. Always wash hands before and after handling raw meat.

  3. Heat 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until browned on each side and cooked through. Drain cooked chicken on paper towels or a wire rack.

  4. In a mixing bowl, combine waffle mix, 1 ⅓ cups milk, 1 egg, and 2 tbs oil. Grease and heat a waffle iron and cook waffle batter.

  5. While waffles are cooking, wash, dry, and chop the apples. Heat 1 tbs butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook the apples with the cinnamon and sugar until softened.

  6. Serve waffles topped with cinnamon apples, chicken, and syrup. This recipe makes 4 servings. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
