Ingredients

For the Fried Chicken:

  • 3 large, boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into quarters

  • 2 cups flour

  • 1 tsp. garlic powder

  • 1 tsp. onion powder

  • 1 tsp. cayenne pepper

  • 1 tsp. salt

  • 1/2 tsp. pepper

  • 2 cups buttermilk

  • 64 oz. vegetable oil for frying

For the Waffles:

  • 2 cups Bisquick mix

  • 1 egg

  • 2 tbsp. vegetable oil

  • 1 1/3 cups of milk

  • 1/2 tsp. salt

  • 1/2 tbsp. fresh chopped rosemary, plus a few sprigs for garnish

  • 1/2 cup local honey

  • non-stick cooking spray

Preparation

  1. Make the Waffles:  Preheat oven to 250 degrees.  Mix together the Bisquick, egg, vegetable oil, milk, salt and rosemary.  Whisk together until mixture is smooth.  Spray a pre-heated waffle iron generously with non-stick cooking spray and spoon the waffle mixture into the waffle iron.  Follow manufacturer instructions for cooking waffles.  When cooked, place them in a warm oven until ready to serve.

  2. Make the chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large dutch oven to 325 degrees.  In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper.  Whisk until combined.  Pour the buttermilk into a large bowl.  Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel and dredge it through the seasoned flour.  Shake off the excess, then dip it in the buttermilk, then return it to the seasoned flour until coated.  Place on a large plate until ready to fry.  Repeat until all the chicken is coated.  Place the chicken in the heated oil 4-5 pieces at a time and fry for 6-8 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.  Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and place on a plate that's been lined with a paper towel.

  3. To serve: Place two of the waffles onto a serving dish.  Top with 2-3 pieces of the chicken.  Top with fresh, local honey and garnish with fresh rosemary.
