As long as you have a good syrup that isn't very thick, that balances your dry bit. I tried it for the first time at a wedding about 5 months ago. Was not a bad experience at all, but I also do not like fried chicken. I'll likely never order it again, but I could taste the appeal.
I think you could definitely make it a sandwich with a piece of chicken between two waffles, but I’ve only ever seen it before as a waffle topped with the chicken. I guess that could be called an open-faced sandwich?
So you like chicken & waffles, eh? If you're ever in the Chicago area, or Indianapolis, visit Kuma's Corner and order the Sourvein. It's a 10oz burger topped with deep fried chicken tenders, bacon, cheddar, waffle strips, maple syrup drizzle, and raspberry aioli, served on a pretzel bun. Be sure to add a fried egg when ordering to complete the experience. It is exactly as thick as you think it is, but holy shit.
Are you supposed to get some chicken and some waffle in each bite? Or is this just an excuse to add some maple syrup to your fried chicken? Not hating just asking. I myself like to dredge the remaining maple syrup up off my plate using bacon after I'm done with my French toast or pancakes.
Oh ye flipping gods I love chicken and waffles. This is one of those meals where if you mention it, people either look at you like you’re insane or you make a new best friend who is also part of the chicken and waffles fan club.
