Cut baked chicken strips into one inch pieces.

Mix honey, vanilla extract, and crushed red pepper to create a hot honey drizzle.

Crack 4 eggs into a large bowl and add milk, then whisk together.

Add half of the honey mixture to the egg and milk mixture and mix well.

Cut frozen waffles into one inch pieces and add to the mixture.

Add the chicken pieces to the mixture and mix with washed hands.

Pour the egg mixture directly on top of the waffle and chicken mixture.

Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to absorb flavors, covered with foil.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake covered for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 25 to 30 minutes until the top is crispy.
