Ingredients
  

Oven-Fried Chicken Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Chicken Breast The primary protein source that ensures a satisfying, filling dish.
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise Acts as a binding agent; swap with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • 2 cups Kettle-Cooked Potato Chips Gives a delightful crunch; any salty chip will work.
Waffle Batter
  • 3 large Egg Whites Whipped to soft peaks for light and airy waffles.
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar Adds sweetness and helps with browning; can use a sugar substitute.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; use a 1:1 gluten-free blend for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder Essential for fluffiness; check for freshness before use.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Essential for fluffiness; check for freshness before use.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Enhances the flavor in both chicken and waffles.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Richness for the waffles; melted coconut oil works as a dairy-free alternative.
  • 1 cup Buttermilk Adds moisture; replace with regular milk mixed with vinegar if needed.
White Pepper Gravy
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter Helps create a creamy texture; olive oil can substitute for a lighter choice.
  • 2 cups Whole Milk Adds creaminess; use almond milk for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Season to taste; essential for flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Season to taste; essential for flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Scallions Optional garnish that brightens up the dish; can be substituted with chives or omitted.

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Coat each chicken breast generously with mayonnaise, then dredge in crushed kettle-cooked potato chips. Place on baking sheet and bake for 15-17 minutes until cooked through and golden.
  3. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  4. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Combine with melted butter and buttermilk, then fold in beaten egg whites.
  5. Pour the batter into the hot waffle iron and cook according to guidelines until golden brown and crispy, approximately 5 minutes.
  6. In a medium pan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour, cooking for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. Gradually add milk, stirring until gravy thickens, about 5 minutes.
  7. To serve, place a warm waffle on each plate, top with crispy oven-fried chicken, and drizzle with creamy white pepper gravy. Optionally sprinkle with scallions.
