Instructions
For the Crispy Chicken:
- In a gallon size ziploc bag, pour in the butter milk and add 1 tsp of salt and ½ tsp pepper. (Can also add in hot sauce or chili powder if desired). Seal the bag, place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to marinate. Take out of fridge for at least 15 minutes prior to frying so it can come to room temperature.
- Heat at least 3 inches of oil in a dutch over (or deep fryer) to about 375°F.
- In a ziploc bag or shallow bowl mix together the Flour (Bisquick), Salt & Pepper, Garlic Powder and Smoked Paprika until well blended.
- Place the buttermilk soaked Chicken one piece at a time into Flour mixture and generously coat all over.
- Carefully place all the coated Chicken once at a time into the hot oil and deep fry for 5 - 6 minutes.
- Remove, drain on a paper towel lined plate and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
- Add the Chicken back to the hot oil once more this time for 4 - 5 minutes or until golden brown, remove, drain and keep warm in 300°F oven until ready to serve.
For the Waffles:
- In a bowl, mix together Bisquick/Baking Mix, Egg, Milk, Oil, Salt & Pepper and your favorite shredded cheese. Mix well.
- Heat waffle iron, spray with cooking spray, pour about ¼ cup or recommended amount of batter for your waffle iron, so that you don't have a spill over, close cover and cook for about 4 - 5 minutes or until just golden.
For the Dressing:
- Mix Maple syrup and Balsamic vinegar in small bowl and set aside until ready to use.
To Assemble:
- Fold a warm large round waffle in half add 1 chicken breast, lettuce, crispy smoked bacon and generously drizzle Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette and serve with additional Vinaigrette on the side. Can add tomatoes and extra cheese if desired.
- Serve and Enjoy.
