    MMmmmm good. I used toaster waffles because I was short on time and not a good multi tasker in the kitchen. Also, doubled the hot sauce and added cayenne to the flour and still had no heat. Slather the mayo on that's what makes the sammy.

    This is a delicious heart attack waiting to happen. My family loved it but it is not an everyday meal.

    My family loves this recipe.The combo of chicken, bacon, cheddar, and the sweet spicy sauce makes me mouth water just thinking about it. Your family will love it as much as mine.

    This recipe is great! I changed a few things to make it my own but the sauce really makes the recipe and pulls everyting together

    This was really good! The waffles were really crisp and the sauce was fabulous (although I did end up adding more horseradish and mustard to it to kick up the spice. The sauce was even better a couple of days later after it had time to meld and intensify. I didn't have the ingredients for the chicken so I just used Paula Deens fried chicken recipe (and added the spices recommended by this recipe. Next time, I'll make sure to have all the ingredients. Regardless, it was really good!

    As soon as I heard what she was making, I knew, win or lose, I was going to try this! I was at the store today and picked up the stuff I knew I needed from the show, but like the other reviewer, I missed that there was bacon on it from the show airing, I hadn't looked for the recipe beforehand. I have a round waffle iron that makes a pretty thin waffle, so splitting them horizontally was not going to happen. The other adaptation I made was a full chicken breast - tenders are just too expensive, and I actually prefer the fuller, thicker, juicier texture of a full chicken breast, so I bought half breasts on the bone, cut them off the bone, and pulled the tenders off for my daughter's sandwich. My husband and I each had one full breast (pound it so it's even if you're going to try it this way and it fit the half moon of the round waffle. I added more horseradish and dry mustard to the sauce, too, because it was a little too mild for me, I couldn't taste the kick at all - but she was smart to go with those ratios for a national palate - just make it the way the recipe states and add more to your taste. I was amazed at how, while you need napkins, that sauce will drip, it holds together so well - and the flavors together are incredible! My husband loved it, but he did keep saying it needed bacon - but that was my miss, so I can't wait to do it again with the bacon. I tasted my daughter's sandwich, made with the tenders, and I highly recommend the full breast. While still good, the tenders are so much softer and the chicken isn't as prevalent, making the waffles over take the chicken. I loved the balance with the full breast. I will make this again often, I can't wait to see what others think of it!

    I watched the show and I was rooting for her to win so I could run out to TGI Fridays and try it. I felt so bad for her that she wasn't able to get it plated in time because it just sounded so yummy. Well, she did inspire me to go out to the store and try to make it myself. I didn't find the recipe until after I made it so I am going to try it again but I improvised myself and used buttermilk frozen waffles (please forgive me, it was convenient, fresh cheddar from the deli, the sauce I wrote down from the show and for the chicken I breaded it with Captain Crunch which gave it a little sweet taste. I didn't see that it had bacon on it until I read this but that would definitely be a nice addition. It is yummy and I recommend it. Definite comfort food.

    Hi Julie, it was so fantastic to find you on the Food Network tonight. I was so excited. You are as beautiful as ever and so glad to see you and your family thriving. Your 2 dishes looked absolutely delicious and I cannot wait to give them a try. We love waffles any time of the day and I'm always looking for new chicken recipes. This looks like a fun and easy evening meal that's sure to be a hit. I would love to catch up sometime. In the meantime, take care and keep on cookin' those good eats. :-
