Slice chicken breasts in half and cut into strips, about five or six strips.

Rinse chicken with vinegar and water, then drain.

Add about 2 tablespoons of all-purpose seasoning and 2 tablespoons of fresh thyme to the chicken, mix well, and let it marinate for about an hour.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder, then mix until combined.

In another bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1/2 cup of heavy cream, then add 1 tablespoon of mixed spice and mix well.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients gradually, mixing until smooth, then add 1/2 cup of water to adjust the consistency if needed.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat for frying the chicken.

Dredge marinated chicken strips in 2 cups of all-purpose flour, shaking off excess flour.

Fry chicken in the hot oil for about 8 minutes total, 4 minutes per side, without overcrowding the pan.

Prepare waffles in the skillet while the chicken is frying, following the batter preparation steps.

Once everything is cooked, serve the waffles topped with fried chicken, drizzle with honey or hot honey sauce, and add strawberry preserve.
