About

With their boxy pockets and a crisp exterior, waffles capture syrups, sauces, and chunky toppings. This cornmeal version is the perfect partner for juicy fried chicken. Serve these with plenty of honey or pure maple syrup, butter, and hot pepper sauce. Keep both the chicken and the waffles warm in a low oven to give you time to make everything and serve it all together.
