Chicken and waffles is a mouthwatering combination that many people love to eat at any time of day.
It seems like an unlikely pairing because of the contrast of textures, with the crispy and salty chicken and sweet and squishy waffles. But when it’s done right, it’s absolutely glorious. So don’t knock it until you try it!
Some claim that the dish should be credited to a restaurant in Harlem, while others argue that it first appeared in Pennsylvania Dutch country.
However, they were simply just the first to popularize it. Chicken and waffles were actually created by enslaved African people, and the dish is now known for being a Southern staple.
TikToker Shay Spence (@theshayspence) is turning a classic comfort food into a portable appetizer with his recipe for miniature chicken and waffle sliders that encompasses sweet, savory, and spicy flavors.
Here’s what you’ll need to make them.
Ingredients:
- 12 frozen chicken nuggets or popcorn chicken
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of cayenne pepper
- 4 tablespoons of butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons of maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons of hot sauce
- 24 mini frozen waffles

Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a twelve-cup muffin tin, add one piece of chicken to each cup and bake them in the oven for ten to twelve minutes or until they are crispy.
Next, grab a medium-sized bowl and add the butter, cayenne pepper, maple syrup, and hot sauce. While the chicken is still hot and fresh from the oven, toss them in the sauce mixture and set it aside afterward.
Then, place a mini waffle into each cup of the muffin tin and toast them in the oven for about five minutes. Arrange a piece of chicken onto a waffle, and top the chicken with another waffle. Repeat the process until you have a whole batch of mini sliders.
Finally, brush the tops of the sliders with any sauce that’s left over, and bake them in the oven for five to seven minutes until they turn golden brown. Serve with an extra drizzle of maple syrup, and enjoy them immediately!
