Nutty Waffle Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• Mix flour, baking powder, salt, garlic, and seasoning in a large bowl; set aside. Beat milk, eggs, and melted butter together in a separate bowl. Pour milk mixture into the flour mixture; beat until blended. Fold in Cheddar cheese.
• Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5 minutes.
• Air fry chicken for 7 minutes. Turn chicken pieces and cook for another 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Spray waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray.
• Ladle 3 tablespoons batter on the waffle iron. Cook until waffle is golden brown and the iron stops steaming, about 5 minutes. Place on a lined baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Assemble waffle and chicken sandwiches once all the waffles are cooked.

Steps:

• Preheat waffle iron on high until just beginning to smoke. Reduce heat to moderate and brush generously with some butter.
• Spread butter on 1 side of 8 bread slices and turn slices over. Top 4 slices with 1 slice ham and 1 slice cheese, folding in any overhang, then top with remaining 4 buttered bread slices, buttered sides up. Cook sandwiches in batches (number of batches will depend on size of your waffle maker) until bread is golden and crisp, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Assemble and cook 4 more sandwiches in same manner.
• Just before serving, cut each sandwich into 4 triangles.

Steps:

• Place a sausage patty and a mug or ramekin on a large microwaveable-friendly plate.
• Crack the egg into the mug. Season with salt and pepper. Add a splash of milk, if desired. Whisk until well-mixed.
• Microwave the entire plate for 1½-2 minutes, or until the egg is cooked through.
• Invert the mug with the egg. You may have to run a knife around the mug first to ensure that the egg comes loose in one solid piece.
• Toast two frozen waffles.
• After the waffles are toasted, layer 1 waffle, cheese, the cooked sausage patty, eggs, and the remaining waffle.
• Fold the edges of a sheet of aluminum foil down by half an inch (1 cm). Place the sandwich in the middle.
• Bring the top and bottom of the edges of the paper together over the center of the sandwich. Repeat folding in half-inch (1 cm) turns, creasing each time, until the fold is level with the top of the sandwich.
• Starting on the left side, use your fingers to press the edges into the center to form a pleated triangle. Press down and crease the triangle's edges, including at the base of the sandwich, before carefully folding it underneath. Repeat this process on the other side of the sandwich.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Begin preparing chicken: place chicken thighs in a medium bowl. Add buttermilk and hot sauce and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
• Prepare waffles: combine waffle mix, water, egg, and oil in a medium bowl; whisk until well combined.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Preheat a mini waffle maker according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Spray waffle maker with cooking spray. Cook waffles one at a time until golden brown. Place cooked waffles on a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm.
• Finish preparing chicken: heat 3 inches of oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) in a deep cast iron skillet or Dutch oven.
• While oil heats, combine flour, 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a shallow dish.
• Remove chicken thighs from the buttermilk mixture one at a time and allow excess to drip off. Coat chicken lightly in flour mixture and shake off any excess. Repeat the process once more, dipping chicken back in the buttermilk mixture and flour mixture, and shaking off any excess. Place chicken on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat to coat remaining chicken.
• Fry 2 chicken thighs at a time in the hot oil until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 170 degrees F (77 degrees F), turning 2 to 3 times, about 8 minutes per batch. Drain chicken on a clean wire rack set inside a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
• Combine remaining paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper with cayenne pepper and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Carefully whisk in 1 cup of the hot frying oil. Brush each fried chicken thigh with the spicy oil mixture.
• Stir maple syrup into the remaining spice mixture.
• Place 1 piece of chicken on a waffle and top with 1/4 cup coleslaw. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons of the spicy maple mixture and place a second waffle on top. Repeat with remaining ingredients and serve immediately.
