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!
