Savory fried chicken tenders, crispy bacon, melty Cheddar cheese, and zesty sweet-spicy mayo layered in between golden waffles.
Ingredients:
  • 4 eggs
  • 0.25 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 1 quart peanut oil for frying
  • 8 chicken tenders
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 0.25 cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
  • 12 slices bacon
  • 8 thin slices Cheddar cheese
  • 8 plain frozen waffles
Instructions:
  • Combine eggs, cream, cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Mix flour, cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon salt in a paper bag by shaking.
  • Coat the chicken in the beaten egg mixture, then in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating. Transfer the breaded chicken to a wire rack in a single layer and allow it to rest for 20 minutes to set the coating.
  • Heat 3 inches of oil to 375°F in a deep-fryer or large saucepan. Fry chicken in small batches until golden brown, about 5 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels and keep warm in a low oven.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, maple syrup, horseradish, and mustard powder. Cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned for about 10 minutes. Drain the cooked bacon on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Lay out 4 waffles on a cookie sheet. Top each waffle with 2 chicken tenders, 3 slices of bacon, and 2 slices of Cheddar. Broil until the cheese melts (3 to 5 minutes). Spread 3 tablespoons of maple mayonnaise on the remaining 4 waffles and sandwich them on top.
