Ingredients

• For the Chicken:
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 cup gluten-free buttermilk (or regular buttermilk for non-gluten-free)
• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Oil for frying
• For the Waffles:
• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 cup milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil

Instructions

Step 1: Begin by marinating the chicken thighs in the gluten-free buttermilk for at least one hour, or overnight for best results.

Step 2: In a bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge the marinated chicken in the flour mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated.

Step 3: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Step 4: For the waffles, preheat your waffle iron. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and sugar. In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter. Combine both mixtures and stir until just blended.

Step 5: Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Aim for a crispy waffle that is lightly golden.

Serving Suggestions

Once your golden waffles and perfectly crispy chicken are ready, serve them warm with a drizzle of maple syrup and a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness. Pair with fresh fruit or whipped cream to elevate your dish!

This gluten-free chicken and waffles recipe is not only easy to make but also incredibly delicious, satisfying both savory and sweet cravings. Enjoy this comforting dish any time of the day!
