Chicken and Waffles: A Sweet and Savory Maple Delight
When it comes to comfort food, few dishes can rival the joyful union of crispy fried chicken atop fluffy waffles—especially when everything is drizzled with rich Vermont maple syrup. This iconic combo of sweet and savory has Southern roots but takes on new character when reimagined with Wood's Ghosted Maple Syrup and Amber Rich Maple Syrup.
The Perfect Pairing: Chicken Meets Waffles
What makes chicken and waffles magical is the contrast: savory, golden-fried chicken served on a base of warm, slightly sweet waffles. It’s indulgent, crave-worthy, and endlessly customizable. Whether you’re team bone-in or boneless, spicy or classic, there’s no wrong way to waffle.
