Chicken and Waffle Sliders are a handheld version of a Southern staple. Instead of serving them on a plate and eating them with a fork and spoon, we've cooked homemade buttermilk waffles in a round waffle iron and served them up sandwich-style. Chef Eddy's buttermilk waffle recipe makes waffles with crispy outsides and tender insides and a slightly sweet tang that complements the salty, savory flavor of fried chicken. It's an example of how opposites attract. Sweet and salty. Soft and crunchy. It's a dynamic duo of flavors. Plus, since you start with premade fried chicken, the assembly process is quick and easy. Just add sweet or savory (or both) toppings as you see fit. Some suggested ideas are below. There's really no way to serve them wrong.
