Waffle Chicken Breast
Ingredients
- Chicken Breasts from Halenda’s Meats
- 1 cup Pancake Batter Mix
- 2 cups Vegetable Oil
Instructions
- Preheat your BBQ or stove to around 400°F. Place a large cast iron pan filled with vegetable oil on the grill or stovetop and heat it to the same temperature. (Pro tip: Be careful when working with hot oil—it’s powerful stuff! Drop food in gently, and watch for splashes.)
- Grab your Halenda’s chicken breasts and give them a fun makeover by scoring a waffle pattern on the surface. Use a sharp knife to create vertical and horizontal cuts. Not only does it look cool, but it also helps the batter stick beautifully.
- Prepare your pancake batter as per the instructions on the box. To give your Waffle Chicken a crispier coating, make the batter a tad thicker than usual.
- Dip the waffle-scored chicken into the batter, coating both sides generously. Then, carefully place it into the hot oil. Fry each side for 5-7 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is perfectly golden and crispy.
- Here’s where it gets fun! Drizzle your Waffle Chicken with maple syrup or a dusting of icing sugar for a sweet touch. Want to take it to the next level? Toss it onto a bun with your favourite fixings, or just dive in as is.
