Growing up, waffles were always a breakfast staple in my household. However, it wasn’t until a fellow Houstonian and Army buddy introduced me to the delectable combination of Chicken and Waffles during a leave in Texas that I truly appreciated the versatility of this dish. Over the course of two weeks, we visited a local soul food restaurant several times, where I had the pleasure of experiencing new flavors and dishes.
Of all the dishes we tried, Chicken and Waffles stood out as my favorite, and I found myself ordering it repeatedly. As I savored the sweet and savory flavors of this dish, my friend shared stories from his childhood and what these flavors and dishes meant to him.
This waffle recipe is a basic one that can be enjoyed on its own for breakfast or as part of the delicious Chicken and Waffles dish. Whether you prefer your waffles sweet or savory, this recipe is a great starting point for exploring the many possibilities of this beloved breakfast treat.
