Hi,
All of a sudden all I hear is "chicken & waffles" and I'm confused.
Are the chicken and waffles supposed to be eaten together.. as in a bit of each in the same bite? Is there still butter and syrup involved? If they are eaten separately then I don't get how they are 'good together' any more than any other two random things I find in my fridge or might decide to make. I mean, what's the difference between chicken and waffles vs chicken and pancakes, steak and grits, potato and fish sticks..?
I am just not understanding something here. I like chicken, and I like waffles.. but if it's just a matter of getting both on a plate together then why so popular? I could maybe see the appeal of, say, fried chicken *strips*, no bone, folded up in a waffle but everytime I see this offered or read about it, the chicken is bone-in (fried)... obviously you cannot make some sort of waffle sandwich that way. I've even heard people refer to the dish as "chi-waffle" which would imply some sort of both-foods-in-one-bite experience, right? Or not?
Someone please enlighten me. I tried a Google search and found this article where even the owner of a restaurant that serves this dish doesn't "get it" either.
"Eventually, Ina and I got around to the waffle. I tried it with the honey, tried it with the syrup. Not bad, but I still didn't see the point, and I could tell that Ina felt the same way. When she picked a piece of waffle up, she had a resigned expression on her face that said Guess I'll eat this, too."
How to eat chicken and waffles ?
Please help.
Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
