Chicken and waffles!!!! Very yummy and it really fills you up!!! Here is a recipe:
3 1/2 pounds chicken, cut up
3 teaspoons salt, divided
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
vegetable oil
Sprinkle chicken with 2 teaspoons salt. Place on platter, cover with wax paper and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Pour 1 inch oil into large, deep, heavy skillet. Add butter and heat over medium-high heat to 375 F.
Meanwhile, rinse chicken under cold water. Place flour, remaining 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper in paper bag; shake well. Add half the chicken; shake to coat well. Shake off excess flour. Repeat with remaining chicken. Add chicken to skillet in single layer so pieces do not touch. (If necessary, cook in batches. Keep cooked pieces warm in 200 F. oven.) Cook until evenly golden brown on both sides, turning once, about 15 minutes. Drain well on paper towels. Serve hot.
waffles
1 stick butter (4 oz.)
8 oz. pastry flour
1 oz. sugar
1/2 tsp. (.08 oz) salt
1 T. (.05 oz) baking powder
3 eggs, separated
2 cups milk or 1 c. buttermilk / 1 c. sweet milk
1/4 fl. oz vanilla or 1 tsp
Note: If using buttermilk, reduce baking powder to 1 tsp (1/16 oz) and add 1 tsp (5 grams) baking soda instead. 2 cups milk = 12 oz aquatronic weight. If using liquid scale, switch to fl. oz.
In a batter bowl (one with a handle and a pouring spout) place one stick unsalted butter and melt in microwave until nearly melted. Cool, add soda (if using), baking powder, salt, egg yolks; stir.
Add flour and beat briefly with a hand mixer or whisk. Stir in vanilla.
Using the whisk attachment of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites, gradually adding the sugar until soft, foamy stiff peaks form (not dry). Fold into batter and bake in waffle iron about 4 minutes or until steaming stops and waffles are golden brown.
