Instructions
Brining the chicken
- In a large mixing bowl, combine buttermilk, seasoning, and lemon zest. Cut chicken breast thickness by half and cut into square, bite-sized pieces. Each breast should produce about 20-24 bite-sized pieces.
- Toss chicken breast into large ziplock bag(s) with buttermilk mixture and let brine for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Strain buttermilk and coat each piece in panko.
Making the butter
- Leave sticks of butter out until at room temp and pliable. Finely chop fresh rosemary.
- In a bowl, mix together butter, rosemary and honey until well combined.
Cooking the Chicken & Waffle Bites
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Finely chop parsely. Bake Snack'n Waffles whole, flat and in single layers inside the oven for about 5-8 minutes (or until crispy).
- In a large frying pan, heat to medium-high (around level 7 or 8). Add vegetable oil once heated. Fry chicken and waffle bites.
- Cut waffles into quarters. Brush waffles with butter mixture. Place chicken bites onto waffles. Drizzle a little bit of syrup over the chicken and waffle stack. Garnish with parsley.
- Serve on your favorite platters!
