Ingredients

Chicken:

  • 1 (3 1/2 pound) fryer chicken, cut into 8 pieces, giblets reserved and chopped
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Essence, recipe follows
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Buttermilk Waffles:

Directions

Chicken:

Heat enough vegetable oil to come about 1-inch up the sides of a large, deep cast iron skillet to 350 degrees F.

Rinse the chicken under cold running water and do not dry; leave wet. In a large sealable bag, combine the flour with the Essence. Add the chicken pieces 1 at a time, seal, and shake to coat evenly. Remove and place on a wire rack over a baking sheet and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes.

Carefully add the chicken to the hot oil and fry, turning once, until golden brown and the meat is cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes (the thighs and legs will take longest to cook). Remove and drain on paper towels. Remove the pan from the heat and with a slotted spoon, scoop out any browned bits remaining in the pan and drain on paper towels.

Waffles:

Preheat a waffle iron and lightly grease. Into a large bowl, sift the dry ingredients together.

In a clean bowl, beat the eggs. Add the butter and buttermilk and beat to combine. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix well.

Pour the batter into the hot waffle iron and cook until golden brown and lightly crisp. Remove and if desired, top with a slice of butter, and serve with the chicken and maple syrup

Essence (Emeril's Creole Seasoning):

Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

Yield: about 2/3 cup

    I just finished making this and eating it with my husband. It was a delicious dinner! We had always wanted to try chicken and waffles and this was a hit. I did make some variations, I washed my chicken with lemon juice and seasoned it with a little ketchup and soy sauce before I put it in the flour mix ( I added breadcrumbs to that also. The waffle mixture was a but thick so I added more buttermilk till it was just right. Delicious! Will definitely make again. :
