What makes the combination of chicken and waffles so special that restaurants will open up with a menu dedicated to just that pairing? For starters, it’s likely the crunch of the fried chicken, perfectly spiced and hand-breaded, as your fork and knife slide through. Then it’s the sweet taste of a maple-syrup-soaked fluffy waffle, making the perfect vessel to carry the chicken. Then, don’t even get us started when restaurants begin throwing in spices and sauces into the mix. Or sweet pecans, for that matter! Are you getting hungry yet?
