This time I just turned the dial up a bit.

You’re probably used to enjoying them with some maple syrup maybe a little butter and some hot sauce, well if so you are in for treat, how about mixing all three into one sweet and savory gravy!

This creamy sweet and savory gravy takes the classic dish up a notch. Get the waffles recipe here. Just add a dash of maple flavoring.  

Chicken

1.5 lbs. boneless chicken breast

½ cup buttermilk

1 Tablespoon hot sauce (Texas Pete)

2 eggs

1 cup flour

1 tablespoon seasoning salt

Frying oil

Maple Butter Gravy

¼ cup (½ stick) butter and 1 extra Tablespoon

4 Tablespoons flour

2 cups milk

1/3 cup maple syrup

1 Teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon of hot sauce (I use Texas Pete)

Mix buttermilk and hot sauce in shallow bowl put your chicken in bowl and make sure it is covered in the buttermilk mixture.  Let chicken sit in buttermilk for at least 10 minutes. Heat your oil.

Beat eggs in separate bowl.

Mix cup of flour and seasoning salt in another bowl.

Dip your buttermilk soaked chicken in flour next eggs then back in flour, and then fry in heated oil.

Fry chicken as you normally would and start working on your gravy.

Make your roux with a half of stick of butter and flour. Add your milk, maple syrup and hot sauce, season to taste but I use 1 teaspoon of salt and a sprinkle of pepper. Mix in the extra tablespoon of butter.

Place waffle on plate followed by your fried chicken and topped with that savory sweet maple butter gravy.
