*****

I had never made chicken as well as waffles before, as well as this was pretty easy. I had to rearrange my repast innovation because the nighttime I originally planned on making it, I didn't convey plenty fourth dimension to thaw the chicken, allow it marinate inwards the buttermilk, as well as larn it cooked. Boy #1 was genuinely disappointed because he was thence excited to convey this. I'll acknowledge I was disappointed too. When nosotros finally had it, it received rave reviews from my whole family. I'll definitely build this again, as well as this may halt upwards beingness my go-to waffle recipe. The exclusively affair I'd alter would live to spray the chicken amongst some nonstick spray earlier putting it inwards the oven thence it would halt upwards a footling browned, but that's purely cosmetic.

Mmmm...waffley goodness!
