Central & Main, in Madison, had excellent crispy fried chicken, with a sweet potato waffle, drizzled with harissa honey.

This doesnāt make any senseā¦ popeyes chicken aināt exactly cheap, I canāt see how a restaurant could serve another placeās fried chicken, keep it hot and tasty and turn a profit.
Edit: Finished reading the article and the owner admitted to itā¦ wow what a clusterfuck of a shit show.

Is it actually illegal to do this? Serious question. I have no clue. Obviously it is deceitful to market your own homemade dishes as āin houseā recipes, but are there any legal ramifications?

Beautiful looking chicken! Is that a pounded out breast? I have to say Drews half bird with jalapeno syrup was probably one of my favorite chicken and waffle dishes. It has unfortunately been a while since Iāve had it.

Thanks cj. Iām not sure if it was a pounded out breast.
Unfortunately Drewās doesnāt serve his fried chicken & waffles any more. He replaced it on the menu with pan roast garlic chicken. However, he did have an excellent special, last time we went, of Nashville hot chicken with jalapeƱo coleslaw, jalapeƱo corn bread, hot sauce and cool ranch dressing. It contained the crispy and juicy dark meat thighs, which were much more flavorful than the white breast meat that it used to be served with.

Apparently itās not illegal as long as food safety laws are followed. I searched for that restaurant and apparently they are bringing back the Popeyeās chicken and waffle dish to commemorate the 1 year of the scandal. Good for them I guess.

I canāt remember the last time (or if ever) I had decent chicken and waffles in New Jersey. Such a simple dish that no one seems to get right. Restaurants tend to not know when to stop, to leave things alone that do not need to be messed with. They add something to the waffle, or coat the chicken in something bizarre. Rarely do you ever even see it paired with maple syrup anymore. Usually its sriracha something or other.
Iām saying it againā¦Cardinal Provisions in AP has a FANTASTIC chicken and waffles dish.

Hmmmā¦has anyone tried chicken and waffle pizza? Iām not a papa Johns fan but it seems like an interesting idea.
Business Insider: Papa Johnās is adding a chicken-and-waffle pizza to the menu.

Nunzioās in Sayreville has it on their specialty menu. I tried it. I suppose it was alright but they added sliced American cheese to it and that made it just plain gross.

Because when I am eating chicken and waffles, Iām thinking, this could use a few more carbs.

And cheese. Does chicken and waffles go with mozzarella?
