Preparation Steps
1
Melt the butter over low heat and let it cool slightly. Tip: This makes it easier to incorporate into the batter and prevents it from cooking the eggs.
2
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, sugar, and salt. Sift in the flour and baking powder, and whisk until smooth. Tip: Using a whisk helps to eliminate lumps quickly.
3
Preheat the waffle iron and grease it lightly with oil or butter. Cook medium-sized, thick waffles for 4-5 minutes. Tip: The waffles are perfect when they are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
4
Bake or reheat the crispy chicken strips. Tip: The breading is crispest when reheated in a hot oven or skillet, not in the microwave.
5
Serve the waffles with crispy chicken, drizzle with maple syrup, sprinkle with crumbled cooked bacon, and top with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Tip: The contrast of sweet and savory flavors makes this dish unique – don't be afraid to experiment!
