INGREDIENTS:
FOR THE BUTTERMILK WAFFLES
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 2/3 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
FOR THE CHICKEN
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
2 cups buttermilk
6 cups vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey, warmed

DIRECTIONS:
FOR THE BUTTERMILK WAFFLES
1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees F and a waffle iron to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the top and bottom of the waffle iron or coat with nonstick spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
3. In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs and butter. Pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir using a rubber spatula just until moist.
4. Pour a scant 1/2 cup of the buttermilk mixture into the waffle iron, close gently and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes; keep warm in oven.

FOR THE CHICKEN
1. In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, cayenne pepper, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.
2. Working one at a time, dredge chicken in flour mixture, dip into buttermilk, then dredge again in flour mixture, pressing to coat.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium high heat until it registers 360 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
4. Working in batches, add chicken and fry until golden brown, turning occasionally, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack and keep warm.*
5. Serve immediately with waffles, drizzled with honey.
