Ingredients
- 1 lb. skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1" thick nuggets
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 Egg, lightly beaten
- 1 cup panko
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 12 frozen mini waffles, toasted
- Maple syrup, for drizzling
- 2 Tbsp. melted butter
Directions
- Step 1In a medium bowl, combine flour and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg and buttermilk. Pour panko into a third bowl. Working in batches, dredge chicken tenders in the flour mixture then dip in buttermilk mixture. Toss in panko for the final dredge.
- Step 2Meanwhile, pour about 1 1/2” vegetable oil into a large, deep skillet. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches about 350 degrees F, or until the oil is shimmering. (If a splash of water sizzles when you flick it into the pan, it’s ready.) Working in batches, add 3-4 chicken tenders to the hot oil using tongs. Do not crowd the pan, or the oil will cool! Cook until golden brown on one side, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook until the second side is golden and the chicken is cooked through, 2-3 more minutes. Place the fried chicken tenders on a cooling rack lined with paper towels.
- Step 3Brush toasted mini waffles with melted butter. Top the half of the waffles with fried chicken and drizzle with maple syrup. Top with the remaining waffles. Insert toothpick into the center of each waffle slider.
