Ingredients:
Chicken:
- 1 lb. chicken tenders or 2 chicken breasts, cut into strips
- ¾ cup flour (either all-purpose or self-rising)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 2 cups panko bread crumbs
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
Hot Honey Sauce:
- ½ cup Heavenly Jalapeno Honey
- 1 tablespoon Huy Fong Chili Garlic Sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Waffles:
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- ⅓ cup oil
- 2 egg whites, stiffly beaten
Instructions:
Chicken:
- Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
- Combine flour, onion powder and garlic powder in a shallow dish. In a second shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and water. Place Panko bread crumbs in a third shallow dish.
- Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Next, dip the chicken into the egg mixture, and then roll in the Panko crumbs. Set aside.
- In a heavy skillet, add about ½ inch of oil and heat over medium heat. Fry chicken tenders about 3-4 minutes on each side or until done and golden. Drain well on paper towels. (Heat oven to 200 degrees and keep chicken warm until waffles are cooked.)
Hot Honey Sauce:
- Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce heat to low. Keep warm until ready to serve.
Waffles:
- Preheat waffle maker, first coating irons with baking spray.
- Beat egg whites until stiff; set aside
- Combine all other ingredients in a large bowl and mix at low speed until moistened. Increase speed to medium and mix until smooth. Gently fold in egg whites.
- Cook batter on hot irons, using about ½ cup per waffle (or the recommended amount for your waffle iron) until golden, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Serve waffles topped with 2-3 fried chicken tenders and drizzled with hot honey sauce
