Method
Cut a chicken1 thigh into large chunks, season with salt and black pepper.
Mix 35 g flour with smoked paprika and garlic powder. Whisk half an egg with 30 ml milk6.
Dip the chicken1 in the egg wash, then coat in the spiced flour, pressing the crumbs firmly.
Heat 15 ml oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the chicken1 for 14–16 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden and the juices run clear.
For the pancakes, combine 45 g flour, baking powder, a pinch of salt, 60 ml milk6, the remaining half egg, and 10 g melted butter7.
Spoon the batter onto a hot skillet with the remaining sunflower oil and fry for 3–4 minutes per side until golden.
Serve the pancakes with the chicken1, extra butter7, and honey.
Tips
- Why it works
- Fry the chicken over medium heat so the crust browns evenly and the inside stays juicy. Too high a heat burns the breading and leaves the meat dry.
- Substitutions
- Replace the paprika with 1 tsp of a sweet pepper and paprika mix. If you have no baking powder for the waffles, add 1 tsp of baking soda with vinegar.
- Common mistakes
- If the chicken is pale inside or the juice is cloudy, it is undercooked. Check after 14 minutes by piercing it with a knife.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the fridge for 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for 2 minutes, covering the plate. The waffles are best eaten fresh.
- Serve with
- Serve with a simple cucumber and vinegar salad or boiled potatoes to balance the sweetness.
