HOT CHICKEN
9 fried chicken breast tenders
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons sugar, divided
1/2 cup peanut oil
WAFFLES
2 cups (about 9 oz.) all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon table salt
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup (2 oz.) salted butter, melted
2 large eggs
CHIVE CREAM
1/2 cup sour cream

1
Prepare Hot Chicken: Preheat oven to 200u00b0F. Place chicken tenders in a single layer on a baking sheet, and keep warm in oven until ready to use.
2
Stir together cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar in a small saucepan. Whisk in peanut oil, and cook over low, whisking constantly, until well combined, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
3
Prepare Waffles: Whisk together flour, next 3 ingredients, and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar in a medium bowl. Whisk buttermilk, butter, and eggs in a small bowl. Stir buttermilk mixture into flour mixture until combined. Cook batter, in batches, in a preheated, lightly greased waffle iron until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
4
Prepare Chive Cream: Stir together sour cream, chives, and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl.
5
Assemble Sandwiches: Toss tenders and cayenne mixture in a large bowl. Place 1 1/2 tenders on each of 6 waffles; top each with 2 tablespoons chive cream and 1 waffle. Serve immediately.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
