Marinate chicken wings with 1 tbsp salt, 2 tbsp mushroom seasoning, 1 tbsp onion powder, and 2 tbsp garlic powder. Let sit for 3 hours or overnight.

Crack 2 eggs into the marinated chicken and mix well to coat each piece.

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups plain white flour, 1 cup cornstarch, 2 tbsp baking powder, 1 tbsp salt, and 2 tbsp garlic powder. Mix until combined.

Dredge half of the marinated chicken in the flour mixture, ensuring even coating.

Heat the deep fryer to 374°F.

Fry the chicken in the deep fryer for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Prepare waffle batter to a pancake or waffle consistency, using the pancake or waffle mix without specific measurements, just adding water as needed.

Preheat the waffle maker and pour in the batter until it turns green, indicating it's done.

Serve the fried chicken on top of the waffles, adding butter and maple syrup as desired.
