Chicken and Waffle Crisps

Preheat your waffle maker. Rinse off each chicken tender and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Place the chicken tenders on a cutting board, cover with plastic wrap and pound lightly with the flat side of a meat mallet. Flatten each piece to the same even thickness.

Mix flour and salt in a medium bowl and dredge the chicken in it. Shake off the excess flour.

Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken tenders to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and fully cooked (165°F). Set aside.

Spray the waffle iron top and bottom sections with non-stick cooking spray. Prepare your waffle batter, and then dip each chicken piece into it and immediately place into one of the sections of a heated waffle maker. Close the lid and wait for the waffle crisps to cook, usually about 2–3 minutes. Remove the waffle crisp and dip in maple syrup, butter or jelly. Enjoy!
