Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken & Waffle Sliders
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the dry mix by whisking together flour, cornmeal, powdered sugar, baking powder, and baking soda in a separate bowl.
  3. Heat 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  4. Remove chicken from marinade, dredge in the dry mix, ensuring a full coating.
  5. Fry chicken in hot oil for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. Toast mini waffles until crispy.
  7. Assemble sliders by placing fried chicken atop a waffle, drizzling with syrup, and topping with another waffle.
