• 3 lbchicken thighs
• 2 cupsbuttermilk
• 2 cupswaffle batter
• 0.25 cuphot honey
• 2 cupsflour

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the chicken thighs completely dry — moisture is the enemy of crisp.

2. 2

   Dredge in buttermilk then waffle batter, pressing so the coating grips.

3. 3

   Heat 2 inches of oil to 350°F and fry in small batches so the temperature holds.

4. 4

   Fry until deep golden and cooked through, then drain on a rack — never paper towels.

5. 5

   Season with salt the second it leaves the oil and serve Chicken and Waffles hot.
