**CHICKEN COOKING PROCESS**
-
2
Place each individual piece of chicken in a zip lock bag and lightly pound to flatten the thicker sides of the chicken so that each piece is evenly thick.
-
3
(This method is better with boneless pieces)
-
4
I part cooked the chicken by bringing it to the boil with a pinch of seasoned salt for about 10-12 minutes.
-
5
Then let it cool down before coating in the batter.
-
6
Mix the corn starch, flour, cornflakes, sage and season all and place in a shallow bowl.
-
7
Place the egg wash in another shallow bowl.
-
8
Heat the oil to 360F.
-
9
Dip and coat evenly the chicken pieces in the egg wash then in the flour mixture.
-
10
Deep fry the chicken for 6-7 minutes (boneless), 9-10 minutes (bone-in) or until is has cooked through.
-
11
Once cooked drain on kitchen roll to remove excess fat.
-
12
**WAFFLE COOKING PROCESS**
-
13
While the chicken is frying move onto the waffles.
-
14
Preheat the waffle iron.
-
15
If you don't have buttermilk you can make your own as I did.
-
16
For every 1 cup of milk add 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar or lemon juice then let it rest for at least 5 minutes before adding to the mixture.
-
17
Mix all the dry ingredients together and set aside.
-
18
In another bowl mix the wet ingredients making sure to break up the eggs and mix them in.
-
19
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until theres only a few lumps left (Add a bit more water or milk if the mixture is a tad too thick).
-
20
Spray the waffle iron with oil.
-
21
Spoon the waffle mixture onto the hot iron making sure the batter fills all corners of the waffle iron.
-
22
Lay 2-4 pieces of bacon diagonally across each waffle batch.
-
23
Close the waffle iron and cook until golden and cripsy.
-
24
Cut the waffles apart once cooked.
-
25
**FRIED ONION AND LEEKS**
-
26
The recipe stated to fry these before the chicken.
-
27
Personally I don't think it matters as they take so little time to cook.
-
28
Cut the onion and leeks very thinly into strips.
-
29
Fry in a deep fat fryer until golden and crispy.
-
30
Once its done drain on kitchen roll.
-
31
**BBQ SAUCE**
-
32
In a small saucepan mix all the ingredients (minus the cornstarch and water) and bring to the boil then reduce the heat to simmer.
-
33
Mix the water and cornstarch together to make a slurry mixture.
-
34
Then mix it into the bbq sauce.
-
35
Simmer for another 3-5 minutes or until it thickens up a little bit more.
-
36
**BRING IT ALL TOGETHER**
-
37
On a plate layer 2 bacon waffles then top with a chicken piece.
-
38
Secure the waffles and chicken with a skewer.
-
39
Next add a handful of the fried leeks and Onions on top of your stack.
-
40
Dribble a little of the bbq sauce on the stack and on the plate.
-
41
Skewer your stack with the rosemary and a steak knife (optional).
-
42
Garnish with a handful of chopped peppers.
-
43
Warm the maple syrup either in the microwave on 30 second intervals or on the stove in a small saucepan.
-
44
Do not let it boil.
-
45
Lastly, serve with maple syrup on the side of the plate (put in a small side bowl).
-
46
Don't drizzle yourself, let each individual do it themselves.
-
47
Once your happy with your designer dish serve up.
