The combination dates back to the 1600s in Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine when pulled chicken was piled atop waffles. In the 19th century, German settlers often dined on chicken and waffles covered in gravy. By the 1930s, the dish was reinvented again, this time in Harlem, where the Wells Supper Club served chicken and waffles to those dining too late for dinner but too early for breakfast.

It also helps the flour stick, resulting in crispier chicken.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maple syrup:<\/strong> Rich, sweet maple syrup is a tasty contrast to the savory chicken, and it binds the flavors of the entire dish together.

That makes the chicken easy to eat with a knife and fork, along with the waffle. Boneless thighs are very juicy and tender, but you can also use wings or chicken strips.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you know when fried chicken is done?<\/h3>\n<p>In general, chicken is done if the juices run clear when pierced. To be extra certain, you should test the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken. Chicken is safe to eat when it reaches an internal temperature of 165\u00b0, though we prefer the taste and texture of dark meat cooked to 170 to 175\u00b0.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you use frozen waffles for chicken and waffles?<\/h3>\n<p>While it&#8217;s tough to beat a fresh, homemade waffle, you can definitely speed up the process by using a frozen waffle. You can find our Test Kitchen&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-frozen-waffles\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-frozen-waffles\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">best frozen waffles<\/a> to see which calls to you. If you&#8217;re truly in a rush, you can even use frozen chicken strips as well as frozen waffles.<\/p>\n<h3>What should you serve with fried chicken and waffles?<\/h3>\n<p>We love classic maple syrup with waffles. The sweetness complements the savory chicken and ties it to the waffle. Honey works, too. If you like heat, shake on a dash of hot sauce.<\/p>\n<p>Many brunch side dishes taste delicious with chicken and waffles. Think bacon (extra points if you make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/caramelized-bacon-twists\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/caramelized-bacon-twists\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">caramelized bacon twists<\/a>), hash browns, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/fruit-salad-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/fruit-salad-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fruit salad<\/a> or fried eggs.
