Create a southern classic meal at home by making my recipe for Potato & Chive Buttermilk Waffles with Spicy Sage Oven Fried Chicken.

Potato & Chive Buttermilk Waffles with Spicy Sage Oven Fried Chicken

Last year, at this time I was coddling a new baby. The week prior, I was busy wrapping up projects at work and scheduling out the last few blog post I would touch for a good month. I was going on work and blog maternity leave in the matter of days. And during all the craziness I shared the most delicious recipe for Potato & Chive Buttermilk Waffles with Spicy Sage Oven Fried Chicken over on the KitchenAid Blog, The Kitchenthusiast.

I worked for months in 2013 perfecting this recipe, and I was so excited to finally have it published. I ran out of time, then baby came, and I became this sleep deprived walking zombie new-mom, and well you guys never got to see the recipe. So here I am today… one year later; finally sharing this recipe. I know, I’m sorry I held out on you. 

Potato & Chive Buttermilk Waffles with Spicy Sage Oven Fried Chicken

KitchenAid challenged me to make chicken and waffles, but to put a spin on the classic recipe. That’s when I dreamed up making an “oven fried” chicken full of sage and a hint of spiciness! Then I paired it with a very savory waffle. I love the combo of potatoes and chives and I love buttermilk waffles. So that’s where I got the idea to combine the best of both worlds. Nothing beats a light fluffy waffle!

I love my KitchenAid Waffle Baker – it bakes the perfect waffle each and every time! I received my waffle baker as a wedding gift almost 7 years ago. Seriously one of the best wedding presents we ever received! Growing up in the south–I’ve had my fair share of chicken and waffles. I love the sweet and savory mix and pouring maple syrup on top is the best!

Ingredients

  • 8 piece Whole Chicken
  • Buttermilk
  • Louisiana Hot Sauce
  • Dried sage
  • All-Purpose Flour
  • Corn Flakes
  • Fresh Sage
  • Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Salted Butter
  • Maple Syrup
  • Chives
  • Eggs
  • Instant Mashed Potato Flakes
  • Garlic Powder
  • Granulated White Sugar
  • Baking Soda
  • Baking Powder
Potato & Chive Buttermilk Waffles with Spicy Sage Oven Fried Chicken

Directions:

Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to make this delicious twist on the classic chicken and waffles. First you’ll want to make the chicken.

In a gallon size freezer bag, place chicken breast in bag. In a bowl whisk together the buttermilk, Louisiana hot sauce, and sage. Pour over chicken breast. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the all-purpose flour, corn flakes, sage, salt, and black pepper into KitchenAid® Food Processor. Puree for 10-15 seconds until corn flakes are broken up.

Remove marinated chicken from refrigerator. Pour flour mixture into a shallow bowl, coat all sides of the chicken.

Using a baking sheet that has a wire rack on top, spray with cooking spray and line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the chicken on the wire rack. Bake for 60 minutes (or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit).

Remove chicken from oven, using a basting brush—brush butter on top (this will remove the white flour look on the chicken and give more flavor). Once all the butter is used and the chicken is well coated place the chicken back in the oven and broil on low for an additional 3-5 minutes (for golden brown skin). Serve chicken immediately with waffles and top with diced chives and maple syrup.

To make the potato and chive buttermilk waffles

Preheat the KitchenAid® Waffle Baker. While Waffle Baker is preheating, place 2 large eggs, 2 cups buttermilk, 1 stick of melted unsalted butter, and minced chives into a KitchenAid® Classic Plus® Series 4.5-Quart Stand Mixer. Mix with flat beater attachment on “stir” setting for 30 seconds.

In a separate bowl, add the dry ingredients; all purpose flour, instant mashed potatoes, garlic powder, sugar, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on “stir” setting for 10 seconds then bump up to speed 2 for 20 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, mix for 5 more seconds. Batter will be lumpy—it’s ok.

Once KitchenAid® Waffle Baker is preheated, place one cup of waffle batter into the baker. Bake for 4:15 each. Let cool on a wire rack.

Then, you’ll place a few savory waffles on the plate with a piece of chicken or two. Pour on the maple syrup and enjoy!
