BBQ Chicken & Waffles Recipe
In the south Chicken & Waffless is a staple. This dish can be found on Sunday brunch menus and also makes a great late night snack after a good night of partying! Traditionally the chicken is fried and the waffles are your ordinary variety; but I want to share with you my version of BBQ Chicken & Waffles. As always, this recipe can be prepared on any grill. I start with a couple Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast. Use a knife (I’m using a 5″ Flexible Boning Knife) and carefully butterfly each piece. Use a sharp knife and start on the thickest side. Cut across the breast parallel to the cutting board and be careful not to cut all the way through the breast. It will open up and lay flat at this point and this will help the breast to cook even on the grill. Place each breast into a gallon size ziplock bag and mix up the BBQ Marinade.

Gave BBQ Chicken & Waffles a go on the Weber\Grill Grates this afternoon and now I’m so full the only thing I can move is my fingers across a keyboard!! WOW, that was good!! Never heard of Jalapeño Cornbread Waffles until I made them today and they go perfect with the chicken. This recipe is outstanding and will be a summertime staple for many years to come……
