Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 2 lbs Chicken Wings
  • 3 tbsp Grumpy Chipotle seasoning or equivalent
  • 2 cups butter milk
  • 2 cups AP flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • oil for frying

For the waffles (you can use premade waffle mix I won't judge)

  • 1/2 cup butter cut into cubes
  • 1 3/4 cups whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups AP flour
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp cane sugar
  • 8 slices maple bacon cooked, drained and crumbled
  • Grumpy Hot Honey as desired

Instructions
 

Make the Chicken

  • Add the chicken wings to a medium bowl. Toss the chicken pieces with the spice blend. Pour the buttermilk over the top and mix gently. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
    When ready to cook the chicken, preheat 1-2 inches of oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350.
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and cornstarch. Toss the chicken wings in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess flour.
    Fry the chicken pieces for 3 minutes, flip, then fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until cooked to 160 degrees. Drain on paper towels.

Make the waffles (remember you can use premade mix)

  • To make the waffles, add the butter and milk to a small bowl or measuring cup, and heat in the microwave for one minute and thirty seconds, or until the butter is melted. whisk in the vanilla and set aside.
    In a large bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy. Add the milk mixture and stir to combine. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar, bacon bits and mix until just combined (small lumps are ok).
    Let sit five minutes. While the batter is resting, preheat your waffle iron. Add the batter and cook according to your waffle maker’s directions.

Assemble the Yummyness

  • To serve the chicken and waffles, place two chicken pieces on each waffle and top with the Grumpy Hot Honey as desired.
