The chicken is amazingly crispy with the perfect crunch and the honey sauce tops it all off. There’s a little heat mixed in there as well serving as an element of surprise. Turn your meal into an adventure with this sweet and sticky dinnertime (or game day) treat. Chicken and waffles aren’t just for breakfast or brunch anymore.
How to Make Chicken Waffle Sliders:
It’s important to remember when cooking the chicken to keep an eye on the timer because overcooking will cause the chicken to come out slightly dry.
Removing the waffle from the waffle iron can get a little tricky so you will have to handle with care.
The honey mustard sauce is an awesome addition to all of the flavors you will get from this dish so don’t be shy with the honey!

I made this for dinner last night I must say was absolutely delicious. However I think I put too much salt in the brine water and along with the salt that I added to the seasonings to put on top of the chicken it was way too salty.
Thanks for trying the recipe! My recipe doesn’t call for any salt, but glad you enjoyed it nonetheless. 🙂
