TODAY’S WEIRD & WILD TOPPINGS
FRIED CHICKEN, BUTTERMILK WAFFLES, BACON, AND SWEET HEAT BUTTER SAUCE
Fry the chicken to a golden brown after marinating in milk, herbs and spices for 30 minutes, then dredging in flour.
Buttermilk waffles are a great addition to any breakfast, but make sure not to over cook these ones. Cook the waffles on med-low in the waffle maker because they still need to cook on the pizza.
Bake the bacon in the oven to ensure easy and even cooking. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 min, then flip and cook for another 5-10 minutes.
Maple syrup, honey, butter and hot sauce is the secret to this ‘Sweet Heat Butter Sauce’. This sauce delivers heat to pair with the chicken, and buttery sweetness to drive it home with the waffles.
