How to Make Open Faced Chicken And Waffles

  1. **Make the Sauce:** In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, hot sauce, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. **Prepare the Chicken:** In three shallow bowls, place flour, salt, and pepper in the first; whisk egg and hot sauce in the second; combine panko and paprika in the third.
  3. **Coat the Chicken:** Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly with the panko mixture.
  4. **Cook the Bacon:** In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside on paper towels, reserving bacon grease in the skillet.
  5. **Fry the Chicken:** Reduce heat to medium. Add peanut oil to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Fry chicken for 1-2 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown.
  6. **Assemble the Waffles:** Remove waffles from toaster and top each with a slice of cheese.
  7. **Top and Serve:** Place the cooked chicken on top of the cheese-covered waffles. Spread the chilled sauce over the chicken, sprinkle with crumbled bacon, and drizzle lightly with maple syrup. Serve immediately.
