Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for a juicier sandwich or chicken breast for a leaner option.
  • Add cornstarch to the coating for extra crispy chicken.
  • Do not overmix waffle batter to keep waffles light and fluffy.
  • Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
  • Store chicken and waffles separately to prevent sogginess.
