Oven Fried Chicken and Waffles with Hot Honey Glaze | Oven Originals #1

Hello, my fellow Steemians! Today I'm feeling like some fried chicken but I'm gonna reduce the calories by cooking in the oven. This chicken is my take on Nashville Hot chicken. Breaded in cornflakes, oven baked and finished with a great hot honey glaze. Nashville's version is super hot and was actually created as a punishment for a cheating husband. In my version, I take the heat down a notch as I'm not trying to punish anyone. I'm gonna serve this chicken on a piping hot waffle. This is a dinner sure to be loved by the whole family. If you have ever had Nashville hot chicken you'll notice my dish is quite different. I've added sriracha and taken out cayenne pepper as I like the heat you get from sriracha more. The chicken is well seasoned but the real flavor of this dish comes from the hot honey glaze. NHC uses a more buttery sauce but I find that my glaze really makes this dish stand out. Coupled with waffles this dinner is a real winner.

Ingredients:

2 pounds of boneless chicken breasts
1 cup of buttermilk
2 teaspoons of salt
1 teaspoon of pepper
1 teaspoon of garlic pepper
3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
3 cups of crushed corn flakes ( finely crushed)
extra virgin oil ( for brushing)
1 package waffle mix

Honey sauce:

1 part sriracha
2 parts honey
dash of soy sauce

The night before, take the chicken breasts and cut in half and place in a large ziplock bag. Pour buttermilk and salt over chicken and mix it around . Place in refrigerator overnight. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Crush cornflakes and combine with flour, pepper,garlic, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Remove chicken pieces from buttermilk and dredge through cornflakes, making sure to completely cover chicken. Place on baking sheet and brush with oil. Make sure not to overcrowd your cookie sheet, use two if needed. Put in oven and cook for 20 minutes. Flip breasts over and cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until it's fully cooked. While the chicken is cooking prepare the hot honey sauce, and make the waffles according to instructions.

When your chicken comes out of the oven place on a waffle and generously brush or drizzle sauce over chicken. Serve warm with a side of hot honey sauce. I Hope you enjoy, let me know how you liked the meal! Bon Appetit!- @slowcookingchef
