Air Fryer Fried Chicken and Waffles
Air Fryer Fried Chicken and Waffles is a quick and easy breakfast recipe that combines sweet and savory for the perfect meal. This dish also works great for a weekend in-home brunch. The air fryer produces crispy crunchy chicken wings paired with waffles that are drizzled in maple syrup.
Ingredients
- 8 chicken wings
- Chicken Seasoning or Chicken Rub
- pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 plastic bag
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- cooking Oil
- 8 frozen waffles
- Maple Syrup (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, season the chicken with the garlic powder and chicken seasoning and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the chicken to a sealable plastic bag and add the flour. Shake to thoroughly coat the chicken.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil.
- Using tongs, transfer the chicken from the bag to the air fryer. It is okay to stack the chicken wings on top of each other. Spray them with cooking oil. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Open the air fryer and shake the basket. Continue to cook the chicken. Repeat shaking every 5 minutes until 20 minutes has passed and the chicken is fully cooked.
- Remove the cooked chicken from the air fryer and set aside.
- Rinse the basket and base out with warm water. Return them to the air fryer.
- Reduce the temperature of the air fryer to 370 degrees.
- Place the frozen waffles in the air fryer. Do not stack. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the waffles in batches. Spray the waffles with cooking oil. Cook for 6 minutes.
- If necessary, remove the cooked waffles from the air fryer, then repeat step 9 for the remaining waffles.
- Serve the waffles with the chicken and a touch of maple syrup if desired.
