Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup waffle mix
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, and maple syrup. Mix thoroughly until chicken is evenly coated. Set aside and let marinate while preparing waffles.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together waffle mix, egg, milk, melted butter, salt, and pepper until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for 3-5 minutes to allow ingredients to blend.
- Preheat a waffle iron and lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into each waffle section, ensuring even coverage.
- Cook waffles until golden brown and crispy, typically 3-4 minutes. Remove from waffle iron and let cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Once waffles are cooled, cut them into smaller square or round slider-sized pieces, approximately 2-3 inches in diameter.
- Warm the marinated chicken mixture in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, ensuring it's heated through and slightly caramelized.
- Assemble sliders by placing a spoonful of sweet and sticky chicken onto each waffle piece.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately while waffles are still warm and crispy.
Tips
- Let your waffle batter rest for 3-5 minutes to ensure a lighter, fluffier texture.
- Use a non-stick cooking spray to prevent waffles from sticking and achieve a perfect golden-brown color.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika to your chicken marinade.
- Make sure to heat the chicken mixture just until it's warm to maintain its saucy consistency.
- Cut waffles into uniform slider-sized pieces for consistent and attractive presentation.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal crispy waffle texture and warm, juicy chicken.
- For a gourmet touch, consider adding a drizzle of extra maple syrup or hot sauce when serving.
