A delightful twist on classic chicken and waffles featuring crispy fried chicken wings paired with rich, red velvet-style waffles, served with a drizzle of maple syrup for a perfect sweet and savory balance.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Waffles

  • 4 cups waffle mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp red food coloring
  • 1/8 tsp vanilla extract
  • Maple syrup (for serving)

Fried Chicken Wings

  • 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 8 chicken wings
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp pepper
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fried Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, season the chicken wings with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Then, coat each wing evenly in all-purpose flour.
  2. Fry the Wings: Place the coated chicken wings into the hot oil carefully, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet to allow even cooking. Fry the wings for about 7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked.
  3. Drain Excess Oil: Transfer the fried chicken wings onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil, keeping them crispy.
  4. Prepare Red Velvet Waffles Batter: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In a mixing bowl, prepare the waffle batter according to the waffle mix box instructions. Add eggs, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and red food coloring to the batter. Whisk all ingredients until the batter is smooth and the color is evenly distributed.
  5. Cook the Waffles: Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s directions until the waffles are cooked through and slightly crispy on the outside.
  6. Serve: Top the freshly cooked red velvet waffles with the crispy fried chicken wings. Drizzle generously with maple syrup and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture experience. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying chicken wings to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  • Adjust the amount of red food coloring based on desired color intensity.
  • Use fresh oil and maintain medium heat to avoid greasy or undercooked chicken.
  • Waffles can be kept warm in a low oven if making multiple batches.
  • For a spicier kick, consider adding cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning.
