Crispy Chicken Waffle Bites
Ingredients
  • 24 frozen chicken nuggets
  • cooking spray
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornmeal
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs, beaten
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to its highest temperature setting, 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Arrange chicken nuggets in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
2
Bake the nuggets in the preheated oven for 11-13 minutes, or until they reach a hot and crispy consistency.
3
Heat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer's guidelines, then lightly spray it with cooking spray for easy cleaning.
4
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until well combined. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, oil, and eggs to create a smooth mixture.
5
Gradually pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6
Place one chicken nugget in the center of each waffle section on the waffle iron. Cover the nugget with a small amount of batter, close the waffle iron, and cook until golden and crispy, approximately 4 minutes. Repeat the process with the remaining nuggets and batter.
