How to cook deliciously - Waffle Batter Fried Chicken

1. Stage

In a large bowl, whisk flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, paprika, baking soda, garlic powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt until combined.

2. Stage

In another large bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until eggs are incorporated and mixture is smooth.

3. Stage

Season chicken all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Dredge in flour mixture and transfer to a plate.

4. Stage

Spoon about 1/4 cup buttermilk mixture into flour mixture. Stir with a fork until flour mixture becomes slightly shaggy. (This creates a craggly waffle-like crust.)

5. Stage

Working one at a time, dip chicken in remaining buttermilk mixture, then again in flour mixture, patting with fingers to adhere. Return chicken to plate.

6. Stage

Into a large pot, pour oil to a depth of 1/4". Heat over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 3 minutes. Working in batches, cook chicken, turning halfway through and reducing heat if chicken is browning too fast, until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.

7. Stage

Divide chicken among plates; season with salt. Serve topped with butter, maple syrup, and Tabasco.
