FRANKS HOT SOUTHERN FRIED BUFFALO CHICKEN WITH WAFFLES BACON AND MAPLE SYRUP

This is up there in my top favourite breakfast's, moist juicy southern fried spicy chicken marinated in Franks hot buffalo sauce and served on top of light airy sweet waffles with lots of maple syrup and a side of crispy salty sweet cure bacon...


INGREDIENTS

THE BEST WAFFLES
1 1/3 cups plain flour
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 3/4 cups of buttermilk
 2 eggs separated 
1/2 cup melted butter
2 tbsp sugar

SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN
200g plain flour
1 large pinch of salt
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp fresh ground thyme
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 bottle Franks hot sauce or west Indian sauce
100ml milk
1 egg
1 tbsp lemon juice
Chicken or turkey breasts one per person
2 ltrs ground nut oil

THE BEST EVER WAFFLES
First make the waffle batter as this is best if left to stand for 30 minutes before use.  Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl.  Beat the egg yolks into the buttermilk then add the butter, add this to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.  Whisk the egg whites until soft peaks and gently fold into the batter.

FOR THE FRIED CHICKEN
Marinate the chicken breasts in Franks hot sauce.  Mix the first six dry ingredients together and place in a shallow bowl on your work top, whisk the egg, milk and lemon together and place in another shallow bowl next to the flour.   Fill a deep frying pan 3/4 full with the nut oil and bring up to a moderate heat of 180 degrees. 

Take a chicken breast, wipe off any excess marinade, then coat in the seasoned flour, then dip in the milk mixture, then coat again in the flour.  Fry the chicken for 8-10 minutes on each side until juices run clear, drain on paper towel.  Fry the streaky bacon rashers for a minute until crispy, drain on a paper towel.  

To cook the waffles, heat your waffle iron and pour in the batter, cook until lightly browned all over.

Serve with lots of maple syrup and Franks hot sauce on the side and enjoy the gorgeous succulent hot spicy fried comforting chicken with the sweet airy maple waffle and salty bacon, this one causes my lips to smack and hits all the food notes, a fabulously wonderful treat anytime of the day.
