Chicken and Waffles

[Rev. Powell]

Thanks to this thread, I ordered chicken and waffles yesterday.  Second time I've had them in my life.  An average of once every 20 years sounds about right.

Guess who is serving chicken & waffles now?

I've never had chicken and waffles, but this thread makes me realize it's high time that I do.

HAH! I saw a billboard for that on my way to work this morning. I thought, "hey there was that thread on badmovies.org. Anybody stateside who wants to try it now can. There are no chicken and waffle joints in Phoenix that I know about so I may have to head over to IHOP, there's one just around the corner.

Had this delicious combination for the very first time two days ago. Surprisingly many of my friends had never heard of or had never tried it.
I thought it was great! It's basically like chicken nuggets with honey dip, except they serve it with maple syrup instead of honey.
This dish is sort of sweet but not really oozing with sweetness. My order came with a side of bacon flavored grits and two eggs. Everything went well together.

Recommended if you have never tried it.

Oh wow.  You whacky Americans and your odd eating habits   

It might be delicious but I could feel my arteries hardening just looking at the photo!   

And can someone tell me what grits are? 

KB,  out of curiosity, is KANGAROO on menus in your restaurants?

I find a slight irony with IHOP serving it.  I don't know suppose the whole Waffle House thing has me thinking it.  I'm off, sleep calls.

Delicious. I made that for myself about a month ago.

I've had garlic bread with pancakes. Call me weird.

Living in the land of poutine, I don't suppose I can criticize chicken and waffles. I just have a hard time imagining how anyone thought to put them together. The combination just doesn't sound like it would taste as good as it apparently does. Now I'm kind of intrigued. I don't think any place around here offers chicken and waffles on the menu, but I know where I can likely get the two put together. Can't do it at home, because I don't have a waffle iron, and I don't think Eggos would be good enough.

Really, with the maple syrup component, I'm surprised Canadians haven't embraced chicken and waffles yet. Is it more of a breakfast food, dinner or anytime food?

Mmmmm, all this talk of regional delicacies has put me in the mood for poutine.

And it's cousin, Newfoundland fries. French fries, stuffing, fried onions, cheese curds, peas and gravy. Oh, baby. I know what I'm making for dinner tonight.

When I lived in the city, there were a couple of chip trucks owned by transplanted Newfies who made this. In the summer, we'd drive across the city just to eat it. Well, I'd eat it. My wife preferred the fish and chips.

from wikki:

A commonly quoted story is that the Wells Supper Club started selling the chicken and waffles dish to late-night patrons of their club in 1938 "as it was too late for dinner, and too early for breakfast"; so Wells Supper Club served both dishes on the one plate.

If anything, I'd say its ideal brunch food if you add the whole works (grits)

I've had pizza and waffles but never chicken and waffles. I never knew a place that served it. But if it's out at the IHOP........

I can't comment on origins but fried chicken lends itself to syrups.  I enjoy honey with mine religiously and would imagine maple syrup would be an excellent addition.  There is something about a very sweet sauce that is addictive with fried chicken.

Ewww... That makes me want to puke.

I've never had poutine and no offense, it doesn't look very appetizing. I would still try it I guess.

That picture wasn't poutine, it was Newfoundland fries, and I agree they don't look as good as they taste. Poutine is just fries, cheese curds and gravy (and occasionally stuff like bacon or even donair meat in some places).
