COOK. While the batter is resting, preheat your waffle iron. Add the batter and cook according to your waffle maker’s directions.
- Fresh waffles are best, but you can make the waffles ahead of time and freeze them. Heat them in the toaster when you’re ready to serve.
- Don’t have buttermilk? Use this Substitute
- Don’t over-mix the batter. The less you fuss with the batter the fluffier your waffles will be! Letting the batter sit for a few minutes to thicken before making the waffles also helps them be fluffy.
- Don’t overfill the waffle iron. The batter should reach ½ inch from the edge. It will continue to spread after the lid is down.
- Keep waffles warm in an oven preheated to 250°F.
Honey Butter
BEAT. In a small bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add the honey, cinnamon, and vanilla, and beat until well combined. Cover until ready to use.
- The butter must be room temperature so that it whips up smoothly.
- The better quality the butter is, the better the final product will be. Do not use margarine.
Serving + Storing tips
SERVE. Place two chicken pieces on each waffle and top with a scoop of honey butter. Serve with maple syrup, if desired.
