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. BBQ Chicken & Waffles BBQ Marinade
  • 8oz Water
  • 4oz Olive Oil
  • 4oz Red Wine Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoon Killer Hogs BBQ Rub (or your fave BBQ Rub)
  • 1 Tablespoon Killer Hogs AP Rub (or a good quality All Purpose)
  • 1 Tablespoon Hot Sauce
  • 3-4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • Juice from 1 Lemon
Pour the marinade over the chicken breast and squeeze as much air out of the bag as possible creating a seal. Place the bag in the refrigerator for at least an hour (doesn’t hurt to go longer). BBQ Chicken & Waffles Fire up your grill at this point; I’m using my Big Green Egg set up for direct cooking with a set of GrillGrates (check these GrillGates out here >>) for even cooking. Adjust your vents so the temperature climbs to about 375⁰. For the waffles I’m using a “souped-up” version of my Mom’s old fashioned corn bread. Corn Bread Waffles:
  • 2 cups Buttermilk
  • 1 ½ cups Self Rising Cornmeal (not cornmeal mix)
  • ¾ cups Self Rising Flour
  • ½ cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • ¼ cup diced pickled jalapeño
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of cayenne pepper
Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl and add the buttermilk. Stir to combine and fold in the jalapeño and cheese. Preheat a waffle iron, lightly grease with cooking spray, and scoop ½ cup of the batter into each side of the waffle iron. BBQ Chicken & Waffles Cook the waffles for 15 minutes or until golden brown. This recipes makes about 6-8 waffles. When the grill is up to temp, remove the chicken from the marinade and season each side with Killer Hogs BBQ Rub. BBQ Chicken & Waffles Place each breast on the grill and cook for 8 minutes twisting ½ way through for grill marks. Flip each piece over and brush on the glaze. BBQ Chicken & Waffles BBQ Glaze: BBQ Chicken & Waffles Continue cooking the chicken until internal temperature reaches 165⁰. I like to use a digital thermometer (In this video I’m using Chell’s pink Thermapen.) and when I see the chicken breast has hit 165 internal, it’s time to remove each breast from the grill. BBQ Chicken & Waffles No it’s time to serve. I like to place two waffles on a plate and serve the grilled chicken on top. You can also reserve the extra BBQ Chicken & Waffles Glaze and drizzle it over the top… you want the waffle to have plenty of sauce. If you like Chicken & Waffles, I guarantee you will love this BBQ version. It’s easy, different and really delicious. Print

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……
