Chicken And Waffles Nachos Recipe By Tasty

CHICKEN AND WAFFLE TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Marinate the chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the chicken tenders, buttermilk, 1 tablespoon salt, McCormick® Smoked Paprika, McCormick® Chili Powder, 1 tablespoon McCormick® Onion Powder, and 1 tablespoon McCormick® Garlic Powder. Mix until the chicken is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to overnight.
• Make the slaw: In a medium bowl, toss together the red and green cabbage, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
• Make the waffles: Preheat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Preheat the oven to 200°F (95°C).
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the waffle mix, water, and melted butter until smooth.
• Ladle the batter into the waffle iron and cook until golden brown. Remove and cut the waffle in half. Repeat with the remaining batter; you should have 4 full waffles. Keep warm in the oven until ready to serve.
• Fry the chicken: Fill a medium pot halfway with vegetable oil. Heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C).
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 teaspoons salt, 2 teaspoons McCormick® Onion Powder, 2 teaspoons McCormick® Garlic Powder, the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and black pepper.
• In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.
• Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Toss the tenders in the flour mixture until fully coated. Coat in the egg mixture, then again in the flour mixture.
• Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot, fry the chicken in the hot oil until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Add the Frank's® RedHot® sauce to a medium bowl. Toss the chicken in the sauce until fully coated.
• Assemble the tacos: Place a chicken tender on a waffle half. Top with the slaw, green onions, and a drizzle of maple syrup. Secure with a skewer, then repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve warm.
• Enjoy!

CHICKEN AND WAFFLE BREAKFAST NACHOS

Steps:

• To make the waffles, whisk together the butter, eggs, milk and vanilla until well combined. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add in the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the cheese, scallions, and jalapeño. Pour 1/3 cup batter into each cavity of a preheated waffle iron. Cook until golden brown and crispy, according to your iron's directions. Transfer the cooked waffles to a wire rack set over a baking sheet, to prevent from getting soggy while you continue cooking the rest.
• Cook the popcorn chicken on a baking sheet in a preheated 350 degree F oven until crispy, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Place a saucepan over medium-high heat along with the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 30 seconds. Slowly whisk in the milk and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened, about 5 to 8 minutes. Season with mustard, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Remove from heat, and stir in the cheese until melted through.
• To assemble the nachos, cut the waffles into pieces and arrange onto one large platter or about two plates. Pour the cheese sauce over the waffle pieces and top with popcorn chicken, scallions, bacon, jalapeño and fried eggs. Serve immediately and enjoy!
