Ingredients:
For the Fried Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray
For the Waffles:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Cooking spray
Instructions:
For the Fried Chicken:
- In a bowl, marinate the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Remove a chicken breast from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, pressing the flour onto the chicken to coat thoroughly.
- Place the coated chicken breasts in the EaZy MealZ Air Fry Basket, making sure they don't touch.
- Air fry the chicken for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is golden and crispy.
For the Waffles:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk and melted butter, and mix until combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Lightly coat the waffle iron with cooking spray. Pour the batter onto the iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until the waffles are golden and crisp.
To Serve:
- Place a cooked waffle on a plate. Top with a piece of air-fried chicken.
- Drizzle with maple syrup or your favorite sauce.
- Serve the Air-Fried Chicken and Waffles warm and enjoy the perfect combination of savory and sweet flavors.
