Brining the Chicken
Brining the chicken in a saltwater solution for several hours (or overnight) helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor, resulting in juicier and more flavorful fried chicken.
Waffle Batter Consistency
The waffle batter should be thick enough to coat the iron evenly but not so thick that it becomes dense. Experiment with different ratios of wet to dry ingredients to achieve the desired consistency.
Chicken Frying Temperature
Maintain a consistent oil temperature (around 325-350°F) while frying the chicken to ensure even cooking and crispy skin. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy chicken.
Syrup Selection
Experiment with different types of syrup beyond standard maple. Brown sugar syrup, bourbon maple syrup, or even a fruit-infused syrup can add a unique twist to the dish.
