register 165°F. Transfer to prepared cooling
rack.
7. To serve, halve the waffles on the diagonal
and serve half with one piece of fried chicken
and maple syrup on the side.
*If you do not have a deep fryer, the chicken
can easily be fried on the stovetop. In a large
sauté pan, add no more than 1 inch of oil and
set the pan over medium-high heat. Using a
deep fat thermometer, bring oil to 375°F. Fry
the chicken in batches, about 2 pieces at a
time. You do not want to crowd the pan or
the oil will cool down too much and not fry
well. Fry, flipping once, until chicken is nicely
browned, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
Chicken should have an internal temperature
of 165°F. Transfer chicken to the prepared
cooling rack.
