The Ultimate Chicken & Waffle Upgrade

Prepare the ingredients for sweet potato waffles: cornmeal, flour, baking powder, Himalayan salt, ground cinnamon, and sugar in a bowl.

Mix the dry ingredients together in the bowl.

In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients: melted butter, milk, 1 egg, and 1 cup of mashed sweet potatoes.

Stir the wet ingredients together and then pour them into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until combined to form the waffle batter.

Prepare the chicken by washing 6 wingets in lemon juice and vinegar.

In a bowl, crack an egg and add 4 tablespoons of flour, complete seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, corn starch, and black pepper to season the chicken.

Mix the seasonings with the chicken until evenly coated.

Heat oil in a pan for frying the chicken.

Coat the seasoned chicken in the flour mixture and place it on a rack while the oil heats up.

Plug in the waffle maker to preheat it.

Test the oil temperature to ensure it's ready for frying the chicken.

Drop the chicken wingets into the hot oil and fry for about 8 minutes until golden brown.

Pour about 3/4 cup of waffle batter into the preheated waffle maker and close it to cook for about 2 and a half minutes.

Check the first waffle after cooking; remove it when golden brown.

Continue to cook the remaining waffles and check on the chicken periodically.

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oil and place it on a plate.

Plate the sweet potato waffles and fried chicken, drizzle with syrup, and serve.
