Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vegetable oil.
Step 3: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 4: Preheat a waffle iron and lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 5: Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Repeat until all the batter is used.
Step 6: While the waffles are cooking, heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or skillet to 350°F (175°C) for frying.
Step 7: Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Dip each piece into the remaining flour mixture, coating evenly.
Step 8: Carefully place the chicken pieces into the hot oil and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 8-10 minutes depending on the size of the chicken pieces.
Step 9: Remove the chicken from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 10: Serve the fried chicken pieces on top of the waffles with butter and maple syrup. Enjoy!
