BUTTERMILK MARINADE:
1 cup buttermilk
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp NOMU Cajun Rub or BBQ Rub
NOMU Black Pepper, to taste
1 tsp NOMU Smoked Sweet Paprika
8 skinless boneless chicken thigh fillets, cut into bite-size pieces (or 6 chicken breast fillets)
SEASONED FLOUR CRUST:
1 3/4 cup (210g) flour
3 tbsp cornflour
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp NOMU Smoked Sweet Paprika
1/2 – 1 tsp NOMU Chilli Powder
Generous grinding of NOMU Sea Salt and Black Pepper
Vegetable oil, for deep frying
WAFFLES:
1 x 150g sachet NOMU MiniMakes All Purpose Dough & Batter Mix
1 large egg
1 cup (250ml) buttermilk (or milk)
2 tbsp (30g) butter, melted
HOT HONEY SAUCE:
2 tbsp butter
1/3 cup honey
1/2 tsp NOMU Chilli Powder
1-2 tsp hot sauce (like Tabasco or Sriracha), or to taste
Pinch salt
FRIED CHICKEN:
Combine the buttermilk marinade ingredients. Add the chicken and stir through until completely coated. Cover and set aside to marinate from 30 minutes to overnight. If leaving for longer than an hour, place in the fridge.
When ready to fry the chicken, fill a large pot one-third full with vegetable oil and place over medium heat. While the oil is heating, combine all the ingredients for the seasoned flour crust in a large bowl. Nest a wire rack in a baking tray and place pieces of paper towel on top; set aside.
Working one piece at a time, take the chicken from the buttermilk marinade and dredge in the seasoned flour, thoroughly coating and squeezing the pieces to create a rugged coating. Once the oil is hot (180°C on a kitchen thermometer), fry the chicken in batches until crisp, golden brown and cooked through. Place on the prepared wire rack to drain the excess oil.
BUTTERMILK WAFFLES:
For the waffles, whisk together the egg, buttermilk and melted butter in a jug until combined. Tip the dry mix into a mixing bowl and slowly whisk in the wet ingredients to form a batter. Do not overmix! It’s okay if there are still a few lumps in the batter.
Set the batter aside to rest for 10 minutes while you set up and preheat your waffle maker.
Once hot, lightly grease your waffle maker with non-stick spray and cook the waffles according to the manufacturer’s instructions until golden and crisp. Keep warm until ready to serve.
HOT HONEY SAUCE:
Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the honey, chilli powder, hot sauce and salt. Whisk until everything is combined and homogenised, then remove from the heat.
Stack up the warm buttermilk waffles, top with pieces of the crispy fried chicken and pour over the hot honey sauce to serve.
