Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (plus 2 Tbsp. more if too thick)
- 2 cup Stonewall Kitchen Blueberry Pancake & Waffle Mix
- 4 Tbsp. butter, melted
- 2 lbs chicken thighs and drumsticks, bone in/skin on
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 cup flour
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 1 Tbsp. Urban Accents Cajun Street Spice Blend
- 1 Tbsp. kosher salt
- Stonewall Kitchen Wild Maine Blueberry Syrup
Directions
- Trim chicken thighs of any excess fat or cartilage. Place in a medium bowl and cover with buttermilk. Refrigerate and leave to marinate overnight if possible.
- Whisk together egg and milk. Add dry waffle mix and blend well. Stir in melted butter and mix thoroughly. Allow batter to stand 15 minutes.
- While batter rests turn on fryer to 350°F. If frying on the stovetop, warm several inches of oil in a tall cast iron pot on medium heat making sure to leave plenty of room in the pot for oil expansion and chicken.
- Combine flour, corn starch, Cajun street blend and salt in a separate medium bowl.
- Remove the chicken thighs from the buttermilk allowing excess to drip back into the bowl. Transfer thighs to bowl of seasoned flour making sure to coat the outside well. Remove from flour allowing excess to fall back into bowl.
- Return to buttermilk one more time, coating the entire outside again with buttermilk. Remove from liquid and place in seasoned flour bowl once again. Coat the thighs well, pressing flour into the chicken to ensure it adheres.
- If frying on the stovetop, check oil temperature by dipping a small portion of one chicken thigh into the oil. It should not be smoking but it should begin to sizzle on contact. Carefully place the chicken into the oil and allow to fry for about 6 – 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and crispy.
- While the chicken fries heat waffle iron to manufacturer’s specifications. Ladle waffle batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook until golden brown. Repeat until batter is gone. Hold cooked waffles on a sheet pan in a very low oven to keep warm until ready to serve.
- To plate, shingle blueberry waffle pieces alongside a piece of fried chicken and drizzle with blueberry syrup. Great for any meal of the day!
