Mexican Fried Chicken with Green Chili Corn Waffles

In the recent spirit of posting cooks I’ll offer this up to the collective. I made this earlier in the week as a trial run and then again tonight for my nephew and his family. My wife really likes it so that’s a plus as well.
Here’s the recipe:

I am not a huge fan of chicken and waffles. It seems to be something folks either really like or it’s - meh... This recipe tipped me from meh to really enjoying them. Instead of serving them with salsa and Mexican crema I made a syrup with piloncillo. Here is that recipe:

The most fun for me was making the waffles. I have an old cast iron waffle iron that was gifted to me by the father of one of my good friends. This old gent is in his late eighties. It’s just fun to use this old stuff - and it made great waffles. I have a little charcoal stove it sits on well

Made guacamole to put on the waffle.
I didn’t get picks of frying the chicken. I was being “encouraged” to get supper on the table. The coating for the chicken is pretty tasty though - lots of chili powder, paprika, cumin along with cornmeal and masa. Chicken was marinated in a buttermilk and hot sauce mixture. The spices make the coating dark and in this picture appear overly browned. They actually have a nice reddish color from the paprika and chili powder.
Thanks for looking.

Your game has no down side.
When we were in Italy over the holidays, we stopped in a place, PM me later for the name, as I can't remember, but it was supposed to be one of the finest places to dine in all of Italy, and our experience there gave us no reason to doubt it.
Anyway, sorry for the rabbit hole....but on the menu, swear to all that is holy....chicken and waffles. The children all ordered a plate of them, and said they were the best thing they ever had.
They called it Aztec....guac on the waffles.
Our soon to be daughter in law, (we think hope and pray) is from El Salvador, and she told us it was a very familiar seasoned chicken dish. Whatever. I think that was my favorite place we dined. It was in Venice."Knowledge is Good" - Emil Faber

@YukonRon That is a fascinating story. I would not have thought a meal like this would show up in an Italian restaurant. Central, or South America - I can believe. I like Aztec as a replacement for guacamole.Coleman, Texas

I'm not much of a fan of chix and waffles, but I could definitely get behind this.
I'll occasionally add rice flour to make waffles crispy, but will try some cornmeal next time.
And that waffle iron is too cool for school.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -
