Ingredients
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 cups buffalo wing sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 Tbsp Lawry's season salt
  • vegetable oil (enough to fill a small pan 2 inches deep)
  • 3 cups prepared waffle batter (I followed the directions on the waffle mix)
  • 4 oz blue cheese crumbles
  • 1 cup pure maple syrup
  • Optional: more blue cheese crumbles and green onions to sprinkle over top
Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken into strips (2 to 3 strips per chicken breast) and place in a gallon size plastic bag. Add the buttermilk, 1/2 cup of the buffalo sauce, and garlic Massage the bag until evenly mixed. Place in the fridge several hours or overnight.

  2. Mix the flour and season salt together in a bowl.

  3. Pour the vegetable oil in a small pan approx. two inches deep. Place over medium heat for 5 minutes, check with an instant read thermometer, it's ready when the temp is 350 degrees.

  4. Remove three chicken tenders from the buttermilk, coat each in the seasoned flour, and fry in the oil 8-9 minutes. Remove chicken from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining chicken tenders.

    Note: Putting the chicken in a 250 degree oven will keep them warm while you make the waffles.

  5. Mix the waffle batter according to directions on a box of waffle mix for 3 cups of batter. Mix in the blue cheese.

  6. Make the waffles according to the directions on your waffle maker. This should make 6 to 8 waffles.

  7. Toss the fried chicken tenders in the remaining buffalo sauce. Top each waffle with a fried chicken tender. Seve with maple syrup and also extra blue cheese crumbles and green onions if desired.
