Instructions

For the waffles:

1. Prepare waffles according to recipe and set aside in a 200°F(95°C) oven while preparing the chicken.

For the fried chicken:

1. Place chicken in between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and with a mallet or rolling pin pound just until the breast is an even thickness of about 1/2 inch (1 centimetre); repeat with remaining breasts.

2. Place flour in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, Redpath ® Dark Brown Sugar, and mustard.

3. In a third dish, mix together the panko bread crumbs, salt, black pepper and chili flakes.

4. Dredge the chicken in the flour to coat, followed by the buttermilk mixture. Place in the panko crumbs, gently pressing enough to adhere the crumbs to both sides. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.

5. In a large, heavy skillet, pour in enough oil so that it is ½ inch (1 centimetre) deep.

6. Place over medium heat until oil is hot -- an instant read thermometer should read about 350 ? (180?). Without crowding the pan, add chicken and cook until golden brown, about 3 - 4 minutes, on each side, or cook until there is a minimum internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Place on paper towel to drain. Repeat with remaining chicken if pan is too small to fit all 4 pieces at once.
