I tried a new food combination today, chicken & waffles.
I rather liked the textural combination of the fluffy waffle and the crisp skin off the chicken as well as the juxtaposition of the sweet syrup (real maple syrup next time) and savory/salty chicken.
Eating out was a bit of a challenge, fried chicken is best eaten with the hands and waffles and syrup is certainly fork and knife territory. (The wings were a particular challenge.)
I actually googled how to best eat chicken & waffles before ordering.
I enjoyed the culinary combination, and I would recommend it.
I'm not entirely sure of its origins, but I get the sense that hung over musicians played a significant roll in the origins of the dish.
