- Fry chicken pieces for 8 minutes on each side. Remove from oil, drain, and allow to cool.

- Add flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and lemon zest to a bowl. Mix. Add egg yolks, eggnog, milk, sugar, salt, melted butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Mix until smooth.
- Whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks (around 8 minutes). Set to the side.
- Add your wet ingredients to your dry ingredients (except for the egg whites) and stir until blended.
- Lightly fold whipped egg whites into the batter. Do not over-mix.
- Add around 1 cup of batter into the waffle iron and cook per your type of waffle maker.
Notes
