PEAR BUTTER CHICKEN AND WAFFLES BY RESHAWN WILDER RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the pear butter: Add the pears, water, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and sugar to a medium saucepan and stir to coat the pears. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pears are tender, 35-40 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat. Using a potato masher, mash the pears until broken down to the consistency of a chunky applesauce. Set aside.
• Make the waffles: Preheat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, oil, cream, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Mix in the beaten eggs.
• Ladle a scant ½ cup (55 G) of the waffle batter per waffle into the preheated waffle iron. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter. Keep the waffles warm in a low-heated oven until ready to use.
• Make the whipped cream: Add the heavy cream, cinnamon, and powdered sugar to a large bowl. Whip with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Make the chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large, high-walled skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
• In a large bowl, season the chicken with the lemon pepper, salt, and Ac'cent seasoning, tossing to coat well. Add the flour to a medium bowl. Dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess.
• Working in batches, gently lower the chicken into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the oil using tongs or a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper-towel lined plate to drain while you fry the remaining chicken.
• Cut the waffles into triangles and arrange 3 on each plate. Top with 2 tablespoons of pear butter, 3 fried chicken strips, and a dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with a sprig of mint.
• Enjoy!

CHICKEN AND WAFFLES

Steps:

• Special equipment: a deep-fry thermometer
• For the fried chicken: Thoroughly rinse the chicken, then cover all the pieces with 1 3/4 cups of buttermilk. Soak in the fridge overnight or up to 24 hours.
• When you're ready to fry the chicken, remove the bowl from the fridge and let it sit on the counter for 30 minutes to take off the chill.
• In the meantime, preheat the oven to 360 degrees F and mix the breading. Put the flour, seasoned salt, paprika, pepper, thyme and cayenne (extra cayenne if you like heat) in a very large bowl and stir together well.
• In a small bowl, combine the milk and remaining 1/4 cup buttermilk. Pour into the flour mixture and, with a fork, gradually mix until there are little lumps throughout. This will adhere to the chicken and make for a crispier breading. If necessary, add a little more flour or milk to the bowl in order to make it slightly lumpy.
• Heat 1 1/2 to 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 365 degrees F. Lower the heat slightly, if necessary, to keep the oil from getting hotter.
• Working in batches, thoroughly coat each chicken piece with the breading, pressing extra breading onto the chicken if necessary. Place the breaded pieces on a plate.
• Add the chicken to the oil 3 or 4 pieces at a time. Make sure they aren't sticking together, then cover the skillet and fry for 5 to 7 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure the chicken isn't getting too brown. Turn the pieces over, cover again and cook 3 to 5 minutes more. All the while, monitor the temperature of the oil to make sure the chicken doesn't burn. Transfer the fried chicken pieces to a baking sheet (they will not be completely cooked through) and continue frying the rest of the chicken.
• Bake the thighs for 15 minutes to finish the cooking process. Sometimes I'll cut into the thicker part of one of the larger pieces, just to make sure the chicken is cooked through. (If any pink juice or meat is visible, the chicken needs to continue cooking in the oven.) Cover and keep warm.
• For the waffles: Preheat the waffle iron to the regular setting. Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla and 2 egg yolks. Pour over the dry ingredients and very gently stir until halfway combined. Pour in the melted butter and chopped jalapenos and continue mixing very gently until combined.
• In a separate bowl (or using a mixer), beat the 4 egg whites with a whisk until stiff. Slowly fold them into the batter, stopping short of mixing them all the way through.
• Scoop the batter into your waffle iron in batches and cook according to the manufacturer's directions (lean toward being a little deep golden and crisp!). Keep warm.
• For the sauce: Pour the pancake syrup and bourbon in a small pot and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat and whisk in the butter 1 tablespoon at a time, then the cayenne.
• To serve: Place 2 chicken thighs on top of a waffle. Pour the warm sauce over everything and serve immediately.

SAVORY STUFFING WAFFLES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the maple cranberry sauce: Add the cranberry sauce, maple syrup, and salt to a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and set aside until ready to use, or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• Preheat the waffle iron on medium-high.
• In a large bowl, mix together the stuffing, eggs, cheddar cheese, and salt.
• Grease the waffle iron with nonstick spray. Scoop half of the stuffing mixture at a time onto the waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes.
• Serve the waffles with the maple cranberry sauce.

COPYCAT MCDONALD'S CHICKEN NUGGETS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne. Mix until well combined.
• Scoop the chicken mixture into 1-inch balls and flatten into nugget shapes. Place on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes, or until firm.
• Fill a medium pot a little more than halfway with vegetable oil and heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C).
• Make the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne. Whisk in the egg, then add the soda water a little at a time so it doesn't overflow. The batter should have a slightly loose consistency, similar to crepe batter.
• Remove the chicken from the freezer. Working in batches of 4-5 at a time, dip each chicken nugget in the batter twice, then transfer to the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes, or until tan in color. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Return the nuggets to the oil in batches and fry again for 2 minutes more, until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a clean paper towel-lined plate.
• Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
• Enjoy!
