Description

Chicken and Waffle Skewers combine crispy chicken bites and fluffy mini waffles threaded onto skewers, drizzled with maple syrup for a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. This easy-to-prepare dish is an ideal appetizer or brunch favorite that pleases any crowd with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 16 frozen or homemade chicken nuggets or chicken tenders, cooked

Waffles

  • 16 mini waffles
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Other

  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • Fresh chopped parsley (optional)
  • 16 wooden skewers or appetizer picks

Instructions

  1. Cook Chicken and Waffles: Prepare the chicken nuggets or tenders and mini waffles according to their package instructions or your homemade recipe. This often involves baking or frying the chicken until crispy and cooking the waffles until fluffy and warm.
  2. Brush Waffles: Lightly brush the cooked mini waffles with melted butter, optionally mixing in garlic powder for extra flavor. This adds a subtle richness and enhances the overall taste.
  3. Assemble Skewers: Carefully thread one mini waffle followed by one piece of chicken onto each wooden skewer or appetizer pick. If your skewers are longer, you may repeat the pattern for more bites per skewer.
  4. Arrange and Drizzle: Place the assembled skewers neatly on a serving platter. Drizzle the skewers lightly with maple syrup to add the signature sweet component, or serve the syrup on the side for dipping to accommodate preferences.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the skewers for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately while the chicken remains crispy and the waffles warm for the best eating experience.

Notes

  • Use spicy chicken nuggets or tenders for added flavor and a little heat.
  • Add a pickle slice between the chicken piece and waffle on each skewer for a Southern-inspired tangy twist.
  • For the best taste and texture, serve these skewers immediately while they are warm and crispy.
