Ingredients:
2 (8-ounce) airline chicken breasts (boneless, skin-on breast with the first wing joint attached) |
1 egg, beaten |
2 cups cornflakes |
2 teaspoons freshly minced sage (mixed with cornflakes) |
nonstick cooking spray |
5 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder |
2 tablespoons salt |
3 eggs |
2 cups buttermilk |
2 cups milk |
2 tablespoons vanilla extract |
1/2 cup melted, unsalted butter |
4 slices hardwood bacon, cooked |
2 pieces sage fried chicken |
maple syrup, optional |
fried leeks, for garnish, optional |
rosemary sprigs, for garnish, optional |
square waffle iron |
wooden skewers |
Directions:
1. To make Sage Fried Chicken:
2. Dip and coat chicken breast in egg then cornflake mixture. Deep-fry for 5 to 6 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
3. To make Bacon Waffles:
4. Preheat waffle iron and coat well with nonstick spray. In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients and set aside. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the buttermilk, milk, vanilla and butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring together lightly, leaving the batter slightly lumpy. Using a 6-ounce ladle, pour the batter in the center of the hot waffle iron. Place 2 slices of cooked bacon diagonally over each other and the waffle, making an X shape. Close the waffle iron lid. Cook until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove to cutting board and cut into 4 squares. Place 2 waffle squares side by side on a plate then stack remaining 2 in the center on top of the first 2. Place the chicken breasts on top of this and secure in the center of each chicken breast with a wooden skewer. Top with warm maple syrup. Garnish with fried leeks and a 12-inch rosemary sprig.
