This Chicken & Waffles Appetizer is seriously out of this world!
I don’t often eat fried chicken. Or waffles. But I’ve always wondered what all the hoopla was about Chicken and Waffles. So when we dined at 5 Napkin Burger in NYC recently, I decided to take a calorie splurge. I actually decided I would eat exactly half of what was on my plate. That was a total fail! Oh my goodness, it was good! I had told the waitress I didn’t want the syrup… that just sounded gross. But she convinced me that the syrup is what made the dish so good. She was SO RIGHT!
I decided to make a more modest version of the meal and served Chicken and Waffles appetizers at my Super Bowl party yesterday. Honestly, it was about the easiest, yummiest appetizer I’ve ever served. Here’s the scoop:
Ingredients:
10 KFC chicken strips, cut into thirds
Eggos Mini Waffles
Pure Maple Syrup
Hot Pepper Raspberry Preserves (or any spicy jelly)
Chicken and Waffles Directions:
Toast the waffles and then take them apart. Mix about a tablespoon or so of the preserves with about 1/2 a cup of maple syrup. Use a toothpick to attach a piece of chicken to each waffle. Drizzle the syrup/preserves mixture over the chicken. What could be easier, I ask? This yielded 30 appetizers.
They were a hit with my party gang. So… have you ever had Chicken and Waffles? They’re my favorite new discovery for sure!

These sound amazing! I never thought about putting chicken and waffles together.
This is very popular in the South, but I have never worked up the gumption to try it. You make them look fabulous (and so easy too).
